Amazing how something so incredibly expensive can look so much like an occasional table with strings on.

That's truly foul...

I wouldn't even use it as an occasional table

Each to their own however...

+1.

Maybe it's just the angle but I wouldn't go near it at a tenth of that price.

I like it, there's an elegant simplicity to it and there's no question about the quality of the materials used. The price is enough to make me break out in a sweat though. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night with all that dosh wrapped up in one instrument.

looks like they completely forgot to contour the back of it... it's just a flat slab...

I've never been keen on these exaggerated singlecuts... they just look ugly...

I would have agreed with you a year ago. I think Alan at ACG has re-written the rule-book on singe cuts now as far as I am concerned..



I have to say though, that his are the only ones that have ever really appealed to me.

That other thing just looks heavy and 'lumpy'...and ludicrously expensive of course
