A mere £3.6k

They must have the customers for these otherwise they wouldn't bother....

Also, a £3.6k guitar where the colour is named after the company's founder's son? Bit overly personal for such a high ticket item...

His son is called Theorium?

Which apparently means "grey".  Although it's hard to tell since the picture appears to be a smudgy black and white scan of a poor Photoshop mock-up.  I doubt they're getting many preorders based on that.

His son is called Theo, I think. So a cheesy pun... he does have form! xD

Did you sell her any nitro?

No I didn't

I think you guys *might* not be the target market for these

I wonder who the target is.

Surely not many teenagers who love YouTube have 3.6k to spend?

Maybe it's set up in a way that they can sell to the handful who do and still make money?

Who's this "her" everyone is mentioning?

I believe we are still referring to the talented intelligent and beautiful Miss Mary Spender...

Why do we think that a UK based luthier can build a single cut better than a Korean one?

Isn’t it as much about the perceived difference in quality between a guitar made on a production line and something lovingly carved by a kindly looking bearded man with rosy cheeks in a lovely workshop that is strafed with beams of sunlight ?

Couldn’t resist it

NOT knocking him by the way, it’s just that your post genuinely reminded me of this pic!
