Offering 2A guitars - $2000
|
|

Hi everybody, I've decided to start a line of 2A guitars. These guitars will use 2nd grade woods that are often cheaper for cosmetic reasons but can be made to sound just as good as the master grade woods, and are still in fact beautiful and stable. Spanish cypress and spruce, or a 1st grade cedar top. They will not feature my handmade rosettes, or back and side purflings, or mitered tie block inlays. Scale length is 650 mm and not customizable, but string spacing, action, etc. is. This is a player's Blanca on a budget, and will still get my full attention to detail and craftsmanship, as well as fine-tuning of sound. The finish is still 100% French polish. I'm offering these at $2000 which includes shipping but you pay for the case of your choice. e-mail me if interested. Thank you!

I think a guitar is worth what the marketplace says it is worth at that particular time, for that particular guitar, in that particular marketplace. All of that, of course, could change within a minute or a day or a week. People's interests shift, demand shifts, prices change. The market for a guitar can go up or down, like any other instrument or product. If a luthier can sell his hand-made guitars for the price he wants in the marketplace, then it is a fair price -- and more power to the luthier for providing a product that someone(or several people) are demanding and will pay for. People may complain about the price, but they are free to buy something else at a different price, or they are free to wait to see if the price changes on the guitar they are pursuing. This is why we have so many different luthiers and different guitars to choose from and different prices. Look around, there always seems to be something available if you look --- if the demand is there, someone, somewhere, will step up to fill that demand. that's my 5 cents worth.
