Those custom acoustics in those links are works of art. Much more so than an electric.

And they've got the price tag to go with it!

They *are* art, though, truly! They take a lot of care and time to build...and they're totally individual due to the woods and who knows what. Mine was built in a small shop, and I've played a few guitars that officially were identical - same types of wood, same body size - but they each had their own voice.

It's just something I truly love about guitars. I'd love to work part time someday in a shop that carried high end acoustics, just to be around 'em. Visiting Cotten was something else, I'll tell ya! They knew I wasn't in buying mode, but they still let me play a bunch and look to my heart's content. It was lovely.

Heh...I'll shut up now. Just something I feel strongly about. ;-)
