This is a stunning guitar, and it would be a great addition to anyone's collection. Steve's archtops are, if anything, more amazing than his celebrated Beamer model double puka acoustic guitars. The couple I have played have floored me... as did their $30 K price tag.
This one is affordable-- well, relatively-- at $5995. I'll have to pass... duh!
