There is at times an arrogant tone emerging which I don't think is helping any one learn about guitars.

I'm personally not here to read anyone's self promotion -- Blueberry's or anyone else's, if it comes at the cost of denigrating other makers.
That lets me off the hook.
I'm not a builder!!
Looks like I'm still free to point out when the Emperor has no clothes. !!

I can see your point, but not in this case.
"Blueberry Guitars" is a company, not a "builder".

Up front and open dicsussion of Martin, Gibson, Goodall, COllings, SCGC, Blueridge, etc.. is fine by me.
Input by the pros is particularly appreciated.
When it comes to discussing solo builders...a bit tricky.
There was a long thread discussing this a month or so back.
