Quality European Guitars?
Scharpach Vienna Apex - current asking price $53K TMK, several years' wait, and the only guitar on this planet for which I'd consider either option:

I guess most of us are steel string oriented, otherwise I wouldn't be the first to point out the many excellent makers in Spain. Here's just a sampling of them:

Another Furch Fan
It's been said already, but Furch.
I see them as a blend of old world handwork and new world technologies and processes. Their craftsmanship, tone woods, and designs are classic, but the second generation Petr Furch has brought it into the new world with CNC, various acoustic measurement technology, a genuine commitment to timber sustainability, and a novel truss rod arrangement.
