Wow $45K for a guitar? I would be afraid to take it out of the house. So then, what kind of person buys a guitar like this? I'd say it's some rich guy that always liked ZZ Top, but doesn't really play guitar.

It's frustrating when companies make these guitars that seem to meant as a museum piece rather than an actual instrument you would go out and gig with.

I want a guitar that I can take out of the display case, play the heck out of it, bring it to gigs, sweat on it, and actually use it, and never feel bad about it.

So, it kind of makes me think, what is my threshold for "too expensive" when it comes to a guitar. I really can't say, but I know that this one is way past that for me. :-)
