Now I have insecurity. :(
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Any of you gents have any feedback/reports on Pratley guitars? I'm in Aussie at the moment and there's a bunch of sale at Derringers (local store). Handmade in Aussie, lots of OM shapes, but I've never heard of them.

I have not heard of them. But there are some really good local builders now in Oz.

Sold through Music Planet here, similar woods to Cole Clark by the looks of it. I have not played one either. Looks to be more of a small scale factory builder rather than a standalone luthier (so at least you stand a fighting chance of getting the guitar in your lifetime...)

I tried these and much preferred the dunlop tortoiseshell ones. The only issue with those is I was shredding them in no time. Eventually changed back to flat picks but can still use a thumbpick on acoustic just fine.

And here's one just for you, Jeremy.
