I can see it now...

1) How much is my Gio Battista Fabricatore worth?

2) What kind of strings should I put on my Gio Battista Fabricatore?

3) Will the iDea Preamp work in my Gio Battista Fabricatore?

4) How does the Gio Battista Fabricatore compare to the Giotta Assemblique model?

5) Looking to trade my Gio Battista Fabricatore for a 2005 Collectors!

6) Any recommendations on a good after-market pickup?

7) How come no factory hard case at that price?

Wow. I have a 1910 Washburn parlor guitar here in the shop. Cracks in the top and original bridge lifting. I wonder if I could get even half of that amount for it. I'd settle for one tenth!
