Oh I don’t know about that, I’ve seen some truly munting headstock designs over the years. The JT one puts me in mind of the Guerilla guitars headstock which I also detest and puts me right off trying one which is a shame as I like to support domestic builders.Great guitars by all accounts - but the ugliest headstock in the world IMO.
Boutique guitars. Bout sums it up.Not talking about the Line 6 Variax guitars but his stand-alone models. I've seen a few pop up on Reverb with obscene asking prices that I dont understand. Anyone have some insight on them or why they are so much?
High demand, limited supply. That's how the market works. They're that expensive, because people are willing to pay that much.Suhr/Anderson/PRS Library/Knaggs are boutique though and these prices are boutique of the boutique! I just cant consolidate it in my mind at those prices. I cant imagine what a guitar must be like to ask that price without any significant feature and if it is just due to the build and feel then I must try one because I've played many guitars costing half as much, or more, that are incredible.
Its like when I saw a $79 steak on a menu and I couldn't imagine how nice a $79 steak must be. I've had $30/40 steaks that were delicious so what's it like if its twice the price? I ordered the $79 steak and it was nice. Just nice.
I think 3 of 4 of the brands you listed are way bigger companies than JT (two have offshore versions fwiw) so thats not really apples to apples. Compare a Nik Huber and it’s probably closer in shop size and price point.Suhr/Anderson/PRS Library/Knaggs are boutique though and these prices are boutique of the boutique!
