[wok]

it looks as gorgeous as ridiculous the price is...

 

[LittleSnakes]

Beautiful. A bit on the gaudy side but at $20,000 it's not so much showing off as displaying what that kind of coin will get you.

 

[Guitar Heel]

Absolutely stunning.

 

[CBHScott]

FUCK, no.

 

[Elias Graves]

A gorgeous piece but way too much bling (and money) for this boy.

 

[Peeker]

pass

 

[Dogsinplastic]

I usually love their stuff, but this one isn't for me.

I'm sure it sounds amazing and has otherworldly playability though.

 

[jaxn slim]

Dang. I bet it feels and sounds earth shattering.

 

[jp_nyc]

Tacky.

 

[Stratguy]

Wanted to like it, but just couldn't. It's a little over the top for me, and so is the price. That would be on the "look, but don't touch" list for me.

 

[ellengtrgrl]

It's looks cool, but is waaaay out of my league pricewise (although, I'm sure that just like classical guitarists are with custom instruments, there are probably jazz guitarists out there more than willing to cough up the cash for one of these).

 

[reverend1]

Hell no, not for $12.

 

[Pine Apple Slim]

Not where I would spend my imaginary $20,000 archtop guitar budget. Too gaudy.

 

[Flatspotter]

I don't care how good it is, no guitar is worth $20k.

 

[GreatDane]

it's not really my thing at all. pass.

 

[LittleSnakes]

Honestly I'd rather have a Halfling Jazz model at less than half the price.
