And if you're in Chicago with time to kill, CME is a wonderful place to hang; I didn't try any of the goldtops or 'bursts, but it was an afternoon of many wonderful guitars within easy reach, and for those that weren't in reach, things like "Is that an 1800s Martin up there?" "Yeah - let me get a ladder."
