I was interested in selling my custom Bourgeois 00, all Cuban Mahogany. Sent the info to Elderly along with a link to a YouTube video showing the original dealer reviewing my guitar. The "appraiser" sent back a link to a expired Reverb ad with the statement that there is a new model of my guitar available and based the price accordingly. The problem is that Reverb ad was from the Bourgeois dealer reviewing my guitar. The ad even had the same video that I sent to Elderly. Apparently the appraiser from Elderly never bothered to look at the info I sent or compare it to the Reverb add. I know my guitar is no where near a Holy Grail but at the same time it was not a run-of-the-mill factory built Martin or Taylor. It was a custom made guitar from Bourgeois. Guitars of all Cuban Mahogany are pretty rare and the appraiser should have been aware of that or taken the time to learn about Cuban Mahogany. I expect poor service from a chain music store, not a specialty shop.

The look of these picks is incredible! Very comfortable on fingers. Service /shipping is fast. Highly recommended.
Since tone is a personal preference I will leave that up to the individual player. I am very satisfied.
