I have been buying, selling and playing guitar for 20+ years. I have owned over 100 guitars. I have had new and vintage guitars from all the usual guitar builders. I have even built several parts teles and strats.
Well, I think it is time for first high dollar small builder guitar. I have found someone to build it. He is a great builder but doesn't have a name. It would be an unusal guitar sorta a cross between a firebird and a les paul. The cost is going to be around $2,000 which I think is a very good price for the quality of the work I will be getting.
I am having a hard time going for it. I keep thinking about how many nice guitars I could buy for $2,000 used and would be able to resale them without loosing money. I almost would certainly loose money if I forced to sell the guitar I am planning to have built.
Anyway, I just need the final push to get me over the hump. Let me know how you guys have rationalized going with a small builder.
