$15,000+ guitar, anyone?

I think I'll get two...

I generally hear a distinct difference between a $200 guitar and a $750 guitar, with the $800 guitar often being at least twice, if not three or four times better sounding overall.  But I have to agree with CTGull that I doubt I would find a $15,000 guitar is 20x better in sound than that $750 guitar. 

My thought is that you're not paying for sound, you're paying for exotic and rare woods, the bling, and notoriety of being able to say "Oh, that there's a $15,000 guitar I happened to pick up." 

I've played, or rather strummed a few chords, on a $10,000 Martin D45. I wasn't impressed but maybe I was too worried about something happening to it whilst in my hands to be fair to it, not that I could it justice.

Then there's the Martin D100 @ $100,000 MSRP. That`s obviously for those whose "degree of common sense is in inverse proportion to their net worth" (to coin petermac's phrasing) not to mention the gaudiness of the bling factor.

A couple of ways I would do something like that.

1) If I only owned a few guitars and only played that style would require a better guitar.
2) If I made enough money to justify such an expense and write it off.

And is it 13x - 15x better-sounding than a Seagull Artist? 

You should have told me last week, as I have just spent me money on a new guitar.
