When I need to be cheered up I read reviews of Esteban guitars at Harmony Central until my sides are aching.

I really thought that Estebans were this great guitar that I had never heard of.

This is very funny reading!

Another review of these guitars:

•He says they are "all wood" =all laminate, including TOP
•Hand-made (uh...I don't THINK so!)
•"People are putting down their Martins for these" (verbatim-uh, NO again)
•"It takes 8 MONTHS to make a single guitar" (again, verbatim-uh, NO)
•Quality instrument-(go to Harmony Central, type in Esteban in reviews)
•Sounds as good as a 4k guitar (hmm-maybe to HIM-he's getting millions!)
•Sits his next to Martin "40" series, or Johnny Cash sigs--(the "same"???)
•Always with the "get-up"--I know MARKETING--but it works!
•Is "turning lives around" (another direct quote)
•Hand-crafted (another loosely used term) worth triple its price! (Um-NO)

When I need a guitar laugh I just go to the Zachary site. That dude is nuts!

Action- What action? Steve Urkel gets more action than this. If you can get the four people required to play a G chord, then it isn't TOO bad. Otherwise, you just slit your fingers. The blood is a nice touch to the finish.

These are great.
