At $32,000 I don't know anyone who could afford one. The American Beauty Classic '10 is a much more affordable guitar at $4500.

Here's the guy who bought it. he should take it and swap it out with irsay's whilst the old man sleeps. he may not know the difference.

It's not gonna be me!
I was just wondering who would go that distance. I have a perfect resurrection Tiger..the most I would change is maybe waldo's buffer and an sms classic.

For that kind of money, you could buy all the tools and get set up to make guitars easily at home when ever you wanted. But, there are people in the world where 30K is like $300 to them.

If it was possible, what would one be willing to pay for a stratocaster made personally by
Leo Fender?
You can order a guitar built by Doug Irwin through Lieber Instruments. His base price begins at $100,000.00

Personally i would just go with a Moriarty replica, just exactly perfect without the giant price tag. The name on the guitar makes no difference to me.

Man some of y'all are kinda crazy. Tom offers 2 guitars:
- "mega super deluxe" aka Garcia at like $30k
- "super guitar at awesome price" aka AB Classic at like $4k
And some are complaining...
Would you not go to a restaurant who served a $1,000 bottle of wine despite the fact it also had wonderful bottles at $50?
Or not buy a Toyota because their top end models can option up to ridiculous prices?
Geez, the dude out to be appreciated and not disrespected especially cuz he's a family member here.

Mr. Lieber has been offering "insider" information into the fabrication of one of the most talked about and replicated guitars that is discussed on this forum and throughout the community. I think some respect has been earned and deserved.

Easy pastor, i don't think anyone here has been disrespected, people simple stating in lack of better terms they can't afford to spend $32,000 on a guitar thats all. No disrespect to Mr.Lieber's work, it's lengendary.

Pastor?
Think of how it can be read - what a rip off, just buy this other person's guitar.
I'm not picking a fight here just standing up against not liking how things were sounding.
I'd rather be wrong and offer my apologies than be right and silent.
