Birth year guitar is 59 so that’s out
over bliown gold dripping rare woods custom built to private stock would be a complete waste of money.
Hard to get a good vintage guitar that I like for that may be a good junior or special
Suppose a really nice custom Acoustic from Bashkin would be a nice thing but such rarefied beasts are wasted on my acoustic skills but even just strummed and picked in a simple way, the few I have played had a certain something that was cathartic. would need to have strong elements of Koa and probably ooo style
I should make it clear that I in way and have no immediate prospect of being in that or even close to that league. But if I had the opportunity to commission a £20k+ guitar, I like to think I would ensure that the chosen supplier payed a living wage, with holidays, and pensions. I would be a little concerned, however, if the supplier gave to much employment security to it's staff because it would more difficult for them to fire any luthier who F@@cks up my instrument.

I don't think I would ever buy a bass guitar for 20K.
But I would spend that on a good double bass. But TBH 20K for a classical instrument is at the low end of the scale. Can easily drop 100K on a double bass.
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
Does anyone know why good classical instruments have to be more expensive than good popular music instruments? Is it because the note distinction in classical is more important than Pop?
How expensive do Jazzmasters get?
I said maybe.....
Just a nice gentle and subtle note to add in here. It's not lost on the mods that this thread started on exactly the same day that a classified listing was made for a guitar of this exact value.
It's worth pointing out that, for the benefit of all of the community, we don't allow people to comment on adverts criticising price, or anything else - that has to be done through the flagging system for us to review.
Now, to date, nobody has made any direct criticism of the advert listed in this thread - but, before it happens, please can everyone make sure that they read their posts before clicking the Post Comment button just to make sure that you aren't breaking the above rule.
Ordinarily, these kinds of discussion would never warrant modmin attention unless something is flagged - but the fact that the amount in the title is exactly the same as a classified post made on the same day does rather suggest that the motivation for the thread came from that listing..
Please do be careful what you post - and be respectful of the fact that we allow all our members to post classifieds ads unchallenged if they are legitimate and advertised truthfully. That rule is there for the benefit of all of us.
