Is this the only product that qualifies as a "good customized harp"?
Even to the exclusion of other Guild products?

While not disputing that the Filisko Guild produces the standard to
which all customized harmonicas are held, I have to say that forming
an opinion on a customizer's work from playing someone else's
customized harmonica is a bit like judging a tailor by trying on
someone else's suit. A customized instrument is built to the
specification of a customer, and might not be adjusted for someone
playing at the level of Chris Michalek.
