It does, though, place severe temptation in the path of folk like me! If I'm honest, such a high end instrument would be wasted in my hands, and I seriously doubt I would notice any subtleties it may have to offer over either my Burns, or my CBS Strat. Truth be told, the money would be far better spent on lessons to get the most out of the instruments I already own.
I'd still love to have it though
My LP Custom is the one though, it's '57 RI with headstock repair. Weighs a ton but is super resonant. Talked Coda down to £2.1k which I think was a reasonable dealer price. Never saw myself with a custom but always admired them

However, I have been trying to work out where I could genuinely get £3k from to buy a Novo Serus J
I play guitar and take photos of stuff. I also like beans on toast.
I spent £1100 on my dream guitar (which, coincidentally, is exactly the same as what I spent on my dream amp).
I can afford to spend a lot more, but in my mind it would be stupid of me to do so on something that has so little intrinsic value. Even spending that much was predicated by a week of agonising over the justification for it, considering the next most expensive guitar I ever bought was £530
To answer the OP's question, I guess around £5k, Either a nice PRS ME1 stop tail or maybe an old LP Junior.

If I was a millionaire I'd spend more than 12 grand probably.
I think it's a better question for people in the middle; who could pay 12 grand for a guitar and not suffer but not without noticing it.
If I was in that middle ground I don't think even the nicest guitar I've ever seen would make me pay 12 grand. Maybe half that for a couple of the nicest PRS Private Stocks I've seen (they might even cost more than that).
Luckily my tastes aren't expensive though, my "dream guitar" would basically just be the Strat I've got but maybe with the body swapped for one with a "closet classic" nitro finish but even then it's purely for aesthetics.
Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
I could afford more but to be honest, my playing doesn't warrant it.
