driftwood custom acoustics

ancient1,

Yes, they are a tad on the expensive side, don't think I will be saving me pocket money up to buy one.

ancient1 , Derick , TonyKgull , haven't watched the video... yet.
I will say though, "worth" is what someone is willing to part with in exchange for something.
Value is a whole nother smoke. That is what the market will bear. Reading AGF, there are quite a few people willing to part with waaaayyyy more than I would, even if I could. Good for them.

I keep saying, and I think I mean it; I wouldn't pay multiple 1000's for a guitar. It's not "worth" it to me, I don't care what the market says.

The ones I have sound just fine, thank you very much and only one was more than 1000 bucks, my 00015M, coming in at something under 1200 bucks. I don't recall the exact amount. Of course, Uncle Scam's cut made it more than it should be...

That isn't to say I won't find something else I can't live without, but not a multiple 1000s's, you can take that to the bank.

Garland,

 I wouldn't be surprised if the people that buy these type of guitars, don't buy them to play, but buy them as an investment hoping to sell them in the future at a large profit. 

At my playing level, I own more guitars that cost more than warranted, but I hope to pass along to grand children. There are a lot of guitars sold for way more than I can afford: see examples at cartervintage.com/. I could never spend that much even if I could afford it.

Another site offering solace for spending too much is esomogyi.com/articles/some-thoughts-on-the-difference-between-handmade-and-factory-made-guitars/

My newest is Yairi DYMR70SB. It astounds me with its quality construction, play ability and sound. Its a cannon that I really enjoy, but it had lost half is new cost when I bought it used, as I try to now do for any that I buy. You can see it at:
For me it is clearly worth its price as I feel for all those I have bought and sold.
