I've got guitars that cost enough I could've easily bought a 40 series instead... They just don't appeal to me. Especially when you get into that "tree of life" stuff. That just doesn't belong on a guitar that one is playing. Maybe if you bought it to put in a frame...
I could see having an older 40-something, where the brightness of the shine and bling had died down and it looked like a used guitar, but the new ones are just over the top.
