After many years of searching, yesterday I managed to locate and buy a guitar I've searching for since the 90's. I'm a big John McLaughlin fan..and loved his playing with his trio..using his Wechter Florentine nylon guitar. I living in the UK so the chances of finding one here are pretty much nil. Not only did I find one...the one I found was personally built for the previous owner by Abe Wechter himself.....and not an ' off the shelf ' model. i am over the moon. It should arrive in a few weeks from the USA . the only thing that concerns me ( apart from it arriving safe and sound)... Is after 20 odd years of anticipation....will it live up to expectations...or will it disappoint? mind you, if its good enough for JM.....

Grand stuff, Raja ... I'm sure it WILL live up to expectations and either you, or a friendly luthier, will be able to sort out any little niggles you may have with it.
