$6000

I know this is sacrilege to even ask, but is the talent there to go with the "image" or prestige of owning an instrument of that price range? Otherwise it reminds me of Beiber in a Lamborghini. Yeah, sure, people can own and play whatever they can afford, I just get irritated with people who seemingly believe the price of their instrument increases their ability to play.

We don’t know the student, but I can understand an inexperienced player buying an expensive instrument ‘cause he’s got the money-- but the road-worn look is what I would find kinda funny. :)

He;s just a retired guy who can afford to buy the things he wants. I'm working on the playing part with him. Unlike lots of people I've know over the years he's a nice guy who "gets it" in terms of "price of guitar vs relative talent". He also has an Eric Johnson strat and some other guitars I haven't seen yet.

That's cool. Nothing wrong with that.

I see the other side of it too often where these guys will buy an insanely expensive rig and then never actually practice but complain about their playing so they'll buy the next big thing and so on and so on. Those guys drive me up the wall.
 
I have basically the same thing. Lightly relic'd body (I like it. So, sue me.). SD Tele Antiquity in the bridge. McNelly Tele in the neck. Baseball bat neck (Love 'em.). But I paid about $4,700 less for it to be put together to my specs.
