Nearest I've got is my 1995 Patrick Eggle Berlin Plus.
Certainly wasn't a boutique price when I bought it but looking at ebay prices, an equivalent guitar from them now would be in the £1800 to £2K region minimum. That'll be $2900 to $3200 in American money at current exchange rates.

Patrick Eggle has stopped making electric guitars and now builds boutique acoustics, so I think your guitar certainly qualifies

The company is still going though - http://www.patrickeggleguitars.com/
Mine's from just after he left so not quite as desirable as the earliest models but it is the guitar that will never leave me. It's mine, my precious, MINE.

I don't know if any of my stuff would be considered 'boutique'.
The closest I've got is probably my '92 PRS CE 24.
Or maybe my US Masters LeGrand Floyd, though I got it at a pawn shop for $275. Still the factory direct starting price for the LeGrand Floyd is $1,599. Spec'ed out like the one I have, the price goes up to $1,889.

I'm going to hold my place in this thread with this....
It's being turned into a Baimun/McFeely superstrat... with Mann Made tremolo, Seymour Duncan Custom Shop bucker in the bridge, Eric Johnson singles for the Neck and Middle. Roasted maple neck, locking tuners, and Tru-Oil finish.

This was $1328 back in 1989...
This would have been $1500 or so back in 2001:
I paid far less for each. Closest I have to boutique in any capacity.

I believe the top one is a Fender Heartfield.
Yeah, the Ibby is not really a boutique guitar
Top one is some odd builder, if I remember rightly. Not a Fender or any big company.
It's not mine, but here is a 'monster' guitar from a boutique guitar company
I built a pedal to go with that...

"up yours, baby."
my boutique monster would be this here Tyler. it's completely perfect, IMO.
here are my other boutique guitars.
Schroeder Doublecut. this is actually the first guitar Jason built for sale. it was made for Bryan G. of BG Pickups. it's got Bryan's earliest pickups in it, and they sound great. i bought it from Bryan some time last year.
Trussart Steeltop. very cool and sounds really good.
Some Collings guitars: a OM1a that i recently got that is so good it makes my toes curl, an I-35LC, and a City Limits Deluxe.
a Thorn DeLuxe 90. this is Prototype #8 that eventually became the production model. it's gorgeous in person.

I don't even care what it does, I have to have one! LOL (actually, I'd rebox a Metal Zone and run my mic thru it for cookie monster vocals!)

Not really LOL.
