Taylor Guitars

Obviously MY favorite guitar at this time, since it's what I own, and I don't have $19,000 lying around to buy a Steven Stills Limited edition Martin, or $6,000 or more for an Olson. For the price, I think my 25th Edition is a pretty darn good guitar.

Some of the best play them. I'd sure like to try out the Steven Stills Limited Edition.

Comes out of Texas.
Fender Guitars

We go way back, my first REAL guitar was a Fender Jaguar. I like some Teles, tho, and wouldn't mind trying out Clapton's own.
RainSong Guitars

I only personally know one person who has one, and it's a nice playing/sounding guitar. Pretty, too. Amazing a non-wood guitar can sound so good.
Olson Guitars

I only know one person who has one of these, too. He said it took him a year and a half to get it (waiting list was that long), and anoter friend told me they start at $6,000. No wonder why I don't have one.
Ed Diehl - Fret Crafters Repair
Ed's done some great work on my Taylor and on several Telecasters I was borrowing from a friend. He also did great work on other acoustic and electric guitars for other people I recommended him to. I trust Ed with all my guitars. He's a jazz guitar player in his own right.
