RE: Guitar ราคา $6500 แพงเพราะอะไร
Hi Kata,
Just want to chime in a little here,

I personally know few Guitar makers and had one of them built for me one few years back. And I absolutely agree that their prices are reasonable. It'd take a lot of trials and errors in making dead wood into a box (with strings and other metal parts of course!) and make it sing beautiful to the patron's ears.

It's super hard to please everyone's eyes and ears at the same time. These craftmen (women too) dedicate their lives and their souls and try to please other people's eyes and ears for each of their custom guitar that they've been hiring to do.

I have a dear friend who is a lady and a world-class guitar maker (Kathy Wingert is her name, and you can Google for her), we still see each other from time to time and I've learn quite a lot about guitar making from her besides her philosophies of making her guitars. Her standard price starts at around $12,000 and that's for plain guitar without any custom figures.

It took them so many hours just to build one guitar and when you really average out the hours by the money they got paid for and all of those details that involved. It's really a tough professional to make a living on.

Conclusion; If you have enough dough to spend then please do to support your local craftmen that are living their lives following or should I say chasing their dreams day after day after day and you'll feel so good that you have done some good deed for them!
[A friendship needs a little mulch of contacts every so often-just to save it from drying out completely.

I always have great pleasure being alone by myself to play, If you're playing for any other reason, it won't last.
