I think the point being made by most here is that there may be better instruments available for that price, without regard to whether they were mass-produced or not. Construction by a single individual is no assurance of a superior product or that the price asked represents a reasonable value. $1800 will buy instruments from the K brands, from Martin, and from other builders with justifiably established reputations. It also appears to buy an instrument of unknown quality from an evidently unknown builder. The question asked by the OP was not whether $1800 is a reasonable price for any instrument built by any individual, but whether this particular instrument is a good purchase.
