Normally I wouldn't want a 00 12 fret. I like how the inlay work matches the chair. I'll be honest, I'd consider this if I were loaded.

It would be cool to find a local wood worker who could build a chair that went along with my guitars.

I wasn't gonna do it, but then I saw the financing option, how could I refuse!? $20,000 down, $20,000 a month seems perfectly doable. Stretching it out will help me stay liquid. Now I just a tent tall enough to fit the chair in and I'll be in business.

but hey,, look how easy they are marking it to purchase..

Spread the cost
Open to all
25% deposit secures the guitar
Spread the remaining cost over 3 months


That's three affordable payments of $26,000.. What more could ya ask for?

….for myself….as soon as a guitar hits the $8000.00 mark it’s out of my spending league….but I admire fine guitars and the luthiers that build them….there are plenty of people with the money to chase their passions at higher spending levels than the majority of us….that doesn’t make them suckers…..

….as for the guitar…I like it…

It really is a pretty thing, though, wouldn't you say?

I can just imagine a fellow AGF'r buying it, and then their next post would be how Blue Chip picks are a rip off at $35...

My only disappointment is that neither Muriel nor Carl played their demo of it while sitting in the chair.

A real missed opportunity.

Default I guess I've seen it all now...?

Gee, I’d buy it but the chair looks like an electric chair at first glance, and just wouldn’t fit in with my execution-free decor.
I like TNAG and the builder of course deserves respect, but this does not seem to be about the guitar.
A couple years ago I bought a copy of Guitar Aficionado magazine. The last pages were devoted to fancy cars and expensive cigars, as tho they are related. I threw it away in the fanciest trash can I could find, and I’ll never buy that mag again.

I love the guitar but the price is excessive.

Reminds me of church pulpits from the nice old cathedrals.
