I thought the same thing. I don't know of any (small) builder with 6 guitars (including the one on hold) in "stock".

As a precautionary note: I don't want to offend anybody, just my 2 cents.

That's pretty cool. I quoted you twice.
I think most customers get guitars from small builders so they're built exactly to their specs too. I also noticed several dealers on Mr White's website. Perhaps the price increase is to provide some profit for dealers. He might want the dealers to do most of the customer contact.

Again, I don't know Mr White, or his guitars. Just like K III I mean no offense to anyone, anyones guitar, or anyones business practices.

Wow, I think I have never before even been quoted once. And now twice, and even by a very respectable builder. What an honor. Must have paid to spend hours reading AGF threads.

I looked at the prices of these things and all I have to say to the person considering buying one is "can I borrow some money? "

Very nice guitars though.

Yet another builder that has made it to my "Bye-Bye" List.

Only a few left on my "Buy-Buy" List
