    Default how much would a custom guitar cost

    once i get the money, of course

    so here's what i whipped up earlier at 3 in the morning



    not a bad job for someone who's half awake, huh?

    anyways, since it's a design that's plastered over the entire guitar, my dad says it'll be cheaper than if the wood were to show
    probably around $1,500

    so is he about right, and that's my goal?

    esp m-ii here, paid $1,200


    You'd pay $15,000 for a ****ing guitar?
    Priorities, man. I don't care how much money you have, $15,000 is too much. >_>

    If you must.. I guess.


    Can I borrow $5? ;D

    Not totally needed on a les paul - mostly rhythm-ish and jazz guitar.
    My roommate had to buy a vibrato for his.
    its an ugly guitar btw t.t

    I'll ask my dad about this. he's been a musician for most of his life so he should be able to give you a good price. I won't be seeing him until tomarrow though.

    15,000$ for a guitar? Come on ma' boy. No guitar worth buying would cost that much, and you would never buy a guitar that costs that much. But u want that as a design? Think it over again when it's not 3 AM.

    Me and my huge knowledge of wisdom of guitars is here.

    The guitar you whipped up would cost:

    Around 1 grand for a gibson les paul [Don't actually know the prices in america though] and then you could get a custom paint job for 250 - 500 bucks if you found the right artist. A friend of mine did his own paint job and it wasn't that bad. Cost him about $40. Give me a shout if you want to know how he did it :O

    EDIT: Whoever said the les paul was just a rhythm guitar is totally wronggg. Although the mahogini they use does sound pretty mellow for a jazz sound.
