I wish I had a need for one of these

But I don't and won't spend the money on one.

The reason I can't justify it is that this is a performing guitar, ie, meant to be played on stage at high volume. No feedback. It's not a sit on the back porch and pick kinda guitar.

Temp needs it for his playing. But as cool as I think it is, I can't even come close to justify the purchase of it (when you're married with kids, that justification factor is huge in the purchase of any guitar).

I'd snatch it up in a heartbeat . . . IF I could only afford it. I've been wanting to get a nylon string for gigs just to "warm" things up on certain songs and to have something other than another steel string to counter my partner's.
I've even been considering one of those Yamaha "Silent" nylon models as a "plugged in" nylon that doesn't take alot of stage room.
One of THESE however'd be a DREAM! (in more ways than one ) :rolleyes:

Beautiful guitar. Would love to have it. But I agree with Paul, is a stage guitar and needs playing to the max.
