just noticed PRS guitar prices...

[scuffle]

I am not having a go at PRS or the seller at all and I know prs have a good name with quality but some of these prices are just ridiculous!

they want $45000 for the Tonare Grand acoustic! How on earth did they come up with that?? It might be made with brazilian rosewood but $45000!? WTF?

Sure these are gorgeous guitars and they probably play fantastic but I still just cant believe some of these prices...

Holy shite Andrew. Reckon the mass of the BRW must just about rival the price of Gold.

If it's that expensive it must really be good........................................

So what SHOULD a guitar cost, that treated well will last longer than you or I?

The price of that guitar is the same as the trade-in loss on a 12-24 month old Landcruiser, HSV, Euro, or a DECENT holiday for the family, etc etc etc.

If more luthiers were actually proactive around pricing, we'd see a lot less "there is no money in this career".

$45,000 is expensive only to those that cannot afford it.
