Wow, 2650 dollars for a recycled plywood guitar?

I like the idea, but I don't know that I could justify that!

I love the look of them too, but I also feel uncomfortable with the idea of something that's meant to look cheap being that expensive. I understand why - some of the construction is quite sophisticated - but the first thing they reminded me of was a line from a Bruce Springsteen song...

"you find yourself pretending, a rich man in a poor man's shirt"

(Better Days)
