Point taken
IMO what all of these "milestone" guitars are about is more a matter of Art Object than anything else. Playability is strictly incidental, and the decoration is the major focus. It brings to mind a parallel example from the world of tool collecting -
fancy plough planes that were made as commemorative pieces and never meant to be actually used
Something that is (in theory) fully functional, but meant to be displayed only and never actually used
