Ok guys I thought this would be an interesting discussion.
We all know the big names and their custom shop models and even some great luthiers that make great custom guitars.
I am sure a bunch of us here have custom guitars,I for one am still waiting for mine to arrive and it definitely wasn't easy on the wallet but
I am certain it would be worth it when it arrives.
So what makes a guitar really expensive,like the good ones. I understand the 2000 dollars to 4000 dollars range,I get it but what makes a guitar
10000 dollars or more.To me that is a little too high,I am sure there would be some justification to it,craftsmanship,parts used,wood used?...
But I know a lot of great luthiers use similar woods and parts and we're talking about top of the line custom guitar builders here. So why are there such drastic price differences when the parts,wood quality and everything is similar.
Cheers.
