How much would you spend on a guitar...

[VonBonfire]

Good lord what a guitar. I get what you mean about it being a bit much to show up to a gig with because in the context of a just bunch of dudes playing, it's really fancy and ornate looking.

All the fellas ran up they wanna rub their fingers all up and down her neck.

Here's a question for you guys: is there really that much difference to justify the price from say, my Levinson Blade R4 and a 4K custom guitar?

If I were going to spend 4K on a guitar, something like this might be it.

The most I have ever paid is 4500.00. and that was way out of my comfort zone. I took the plunge because I have a dealer who gives me huge discounts so both those guitars were almost 7k new. R9 and PRSHB2 but even then I was reluctant and ending selling both. I have had good luck with guitars in the 1500.00 range used and like to stay in that ballpark. but never say never..

If the $4500 one was that PRS well then I gotta say that was prob worth every penny. That guitar was completely ridiculous, one of the finest instruments I've ever seen or played, like holy shit that's unreal good. Your G10 Strat you had was killer too and you got it at a decent price.

I mean if I had the money, I would be swinging like crazy. Couple Carillions, a Tom Anderson, a Luxxtone, a Padalka, maybe even an Aristides to keep my good guitars out of road/gig abuse (not like I ever giged or will)

Are you just looking at it as an investment piece? Or would it be getting regular play time?

Play it out live. I still bring my O.G. C+ with me, as if anyone cares that watches, they just compliment the tone and say, "Boogie? Never heard of it!, Sounds great though".

I just have a hard time with "what else am I getting for 5k vs like $2500"

Most of the guitars of my heroes were pretty much beaters. So I don't need some fancy shit. Jus give me a good plank with some good hardware and good pickups, away we go.
