Dont know why he didnt use a real baseball bat for that artsy price , which is way too high . No original ideas here, and he`s NOT a luthier. Too bad. Go away and freeze there.

$2500+ for a hand made custom electric guitar is on the high end but not unheard of by any stretch of the imagination and Zachary is one of the higher end custom shops so the price doesn’t surprise me. the cost of meterials has very little to do with Guitar cost, Brand name and electronic set up determines the price on guitars.

He didn’t make the guitar. It was handcrafted by Zachary Custom Guitars. I believe that is the price they are charging but I may have misread the paragraph above…Nope, I re-read it and I am pretty sure that is what he said.

Why is the project $2,675? Is that not very expensive? Maybe that is what they might sell it for and maybe man hours that go into it but materials can’t be so much and wasn’t the test a DIY test to see if it can be done? So why was it established that the total cost was so much? I’ll buy a Fender instead.

uhhhhhh that knife in the onion on the guitar/cutting board is dank. Opinel makes such sweet blades, something the french DO have right. Much better craftsmanship than the guitar…..though it does look pretty
