“The Madeira is a fine instrument that will last a lifetime if taken care of. Very close to the USA Guilds… NOTHING sold in today’s market for under $1000 will compare with a 70s-80s Madeira, Epiphone, Yamaha, Hondo, Alvarez, or Suzuki. My 35 years of guitar experience knows this to be true.” -Posted by Bill.
