'8th note' is wrong. It's a quaver.

(Fuck you America).

It's in fact two quavers.

Ballbags.

For six grand I'd want quavers, not fucking eighth notes.

my classical guitar teacher is british, everyone was so confused when she started talking about crotchets, minims, and quavers.

I could never be arsed to learn the proper names- 8th, 16th etc works for me, cause it makes sense.

i would literally have to be paid to take that guitar from someone. even then i'm not sure what i'd do with it

i can't think of too many things tackier than having pearloid musical notes on a guitar body. maybe that pic from namm of the eagle inlaid guitar... it's kind of a toss up.

edit: i read it wrong - GOLD LEAF! that's ten times worse

seriously though what about this guitar justifies the cost? for 6 grand i at least want block inlaid frets and the wood to be made out of an endangered species tree from some remote jungle i've never heard of.

And that's with the "savings" of 30%. How on earth can a new guitar cost as much as a car?
And how exactly is the action going to be with a tune-o-matic on a 7.25" radius neck? Methinks it would be shite.

i seem to remember this getting a similar reaction the first time it was posted. while it's not something i would ever buy, it's really not that bad. certainly not any worse than half the crap the custom shop churns out on a daily basis.
