Check out Knaggs guitars. Joe Knaggs is the former right hand man of PRS and started his own company around ten years ago. I have a couple of them and they are top shelf
That was my question in buying an $1850, bottom of the range Suhr, and I'm a convert. Can't speak for anyone else but that instrument easily justified its expense and I had a Kiesel at the time.Do guitars get much better in terms of playability (other than personal preference differences) above ~$1200 though?
Oh yeah... Mr @Larry Mitchell is an endorsee. Very nice instruments from what I know, but more expensive from what I am aware.Check out Knaggs guitars. Joe Knaggs is the former right hand man of PRS and started his own company around ten years ago. I have a couple of them and they are top shelf
Where do you live?
Well there you go! Some people definitely like finish checking/crazing.It's actually intentional... Suhr Modern Antique finish, the whole body is cracked all over, bridge hardware tarnished, etc..
I hate you Ian ... I just used that website to build a custom guitar and now I'm gonna have to pull the trigger on this build... thanks... fooker...I totaly forgot they make a set neck Modern!

My OP said $2500-4000.
As far as what people want to spend their hard earned money on, I think that's very individual. You don't determine how I spend mine and I don't determine how you spend yours

That looks intentional to me. Is the finish nitro by the way? It's just that some guitars like Music Man f.ex. use the same poly that they use on cars so I hardly ever get any dings on them even if I accidentally smash a cymbal with the guitar while some finishes are not so forgiving. The Suhr lacquer actually turned into flakes starting from near the pickups when my friend switched pickups... and at the same time it turned out that the pickups were different than the ones he ordered... so I'm a bit afraid spending that much on a guitar especially with European prices and how long it takes to get the guitar when there might be something wrong with it after the wait and money spent.
