Guitarist Guild: A Musical Community Beyond Strings

Just a thought....has anyone seen or played one of these guitars before. They look amazing & I must say if I had the money I would definitely own 1.
Who here would spend that kind of money on a guitar? We are talking around £8000 - £10,000
Here's a snap of one for those who haven't seen them

Not without a lotto win ;) Nice looking guitars though. I quite like the look of the Dave Navarro signature model PRS.

Yeah there are some lovely ones mate but us mortals just can't get one without a big cash win!

That is a nice looking guitar, and I am sure it is great quality and sounds really good.  Well out of my affordability range.

I wonder if the people who buy a guitar like that actually play them or just collect them though?  It seems crazy to me to buy something like a guitar just to put it in a case and not touch it.  Exception would be if it was already played and of significant historical value, like the stuff you see at Hard Rock Cafe or a museum.  But what if you do play it and scratch it or worse?  Do you get insurance for a guitar like that?

I'd have to have a really, really big win on the lottery before I would part with that sort of money.  Nice though, very nice.  8)
