I was meaning the used Scheerhorn prices are going to inspire (?)
copycat ( I don't mean that in a disparaging way) makers to make new
guitars that sound like the Scheerhorn (by making copies) for a lot
less than the used (vintage) Scheerhorn.
I don't think there would be much of a market for a Dobro (tm) copy.
And besides, the Gibson police have already passed through my town and
I thought I was safe saying dobro, not Dobro (tm).<LOL>
