Stageone or Sierra Artist

I am expecting the arrival of a Stage One this week. With most of the available instructional material geared towards the Emmons E9 set up it seems like the best way to go.

Is the Sierra still available, because I'd like to buy at that price!?

None of my business, but I can comment that my Sierra Artist really got me over the hump, it ws a great instrument. The new owner loves it, too!

Again, I haven't played a Stage One, and I absolutely believe that we need to support our talented craftsmen. As far as comparisons go, I can't say. Rumor has it the Stage One is a very good entry level instrument.

I have had both an Artist and a Zumsteel Student ala stage one model - way back. The Artist is a pro model the Zumsteel Student is not a pro model. Zumsteel now only makes pro models.
