Der Uber Exhorbitantly Expensive Exotica Guitar Thread

Not looking for Vintage here..we all know they cost a kings ransom. Post something grandiose. Just modern production guitars , say, $10,000.00 or more.

Heres an 'Alembic' Studio model...just $13,000.00 ( no, I didn't misplace a decimal).

Ever wonder how much time guitars like that spend with P-touch labels on the controls?

That's actually an effects loop, IIRC that guitar has a side jack for the regular output. I visited the Alembic factory a few years back and saw their whole operation. I totally understand why they charge the prices they do. If you've got the money, they're definitely worth it.

I like this site for all my exorbitantly priced guitar looking needs. There are some beautiful, beautiful guitars on there that I will never have the money to own. Including this 6000 dollar beauty:

and this 6000 dollar... thing. (actually it's pretty cool.. but 6k for a reshaped fender clone? really?)

Hey! That first one is a Murray Kuun right? Dudes a local and from what I've heard his guitars are amazing! Never had a chance to play one but I definitely will in the near future!

Well it may not be over $10K but "exorbitantly expensive" it is.
Basically it's a Tele Custom crossed with a Danelectro/Silvertone. So $2500 for a masonite guitar... But I'd still get one if I had the $.

For 13 grand I expect there to be an input jack right about where my crotch is.

Anything Benedetto will be expensive. But for archtop guitars I can understand why. There's so much more time and effort going into one. And it is Robert (Bob) Benedetto, the Godfather of the archtop guitar.

I always wanted an 18 inch Cremona archtop, but at $30,000.00 I'd rather buy a small house.

I wouldn't want to play on that…. unless I'm naked, rolled in 2" thick foam, in a padded room with controlled environment !
