Fair enough, I was just glomming on to that $2000.00 number I saw being thrown around.FNG said:
Even that'd get it down to 1620 at 40% off. What I'm really asking though is if the merchants will see the need to do that. I really don't know. Everytthing I read here points to low volume production, that brings a different set of "rules" into play. Just thinking out loud in print.

Good point..but Elderly loves to sell guitars, and sell a lot of them they do. If I wanted one, I'd roll in and offer them 1620. 8)

Thank the lord this is America and it's still legal to make any offer you want! :lol:FNG said:
And seriously, from a seller's perspective (and I sit in that perspective for a living) it is really not about what the discount from list is but what's the net I can expect from any transaction?
Do I have a reason, like competition or excessive inventory, to accept a smaller profit ?
Do I have a motivation to liquidate dead inventory, even at a loss, so I have cash to reinvest in more profitable inventory?
Do I have a product I know is in limited availablilty and therefore justifies a premium price?
Am I aware enough of my true total overhead costs to charge enough to keep from losing my a-s?
Will my competitors let me do that? Will the economy?
It's a jungle out there. And it's called Ebay. :shock: :lol:
And I'm gonna do my d---dest to keep this thread from getting back on topic! :lol:
Wait, $1620 for a guitar with a 1&3/4" nut width? No way, I don't think so. That is because I prefer a guitar with 1&11/16" nut width. I haven't tried a 1&5/8ths one yet, but who knows, the night is young. See how I tied it back to nut width? I would like to politely suggest you take this whole price issue back to that 25 page monstrosity you created and leave the rest of us in peace to talk about our nuts.

OK you win. Salted or unsalted? Raw or roasted? And FWIW: I got small fingers and my F65ce's single biggest weakness is the 1-5/8 nut...just a taste too narrow for a couple of things. I've never tried a 1-3/4 nut...but I'm pretty sure it'd feel too wide, especially down by the saddle as you say.Ridgemont said:

Hey Pascal,
I suppose that Gibson is 1& 25/32 or something isnt it ? (same as a B25). Thats even smaller than 1&5/8. ( Wouldnt it be lovely if the US went metric....). I guess I find it suprising that you like the smaller nut widths what with you being such an excellent fingerpicker :mrgreen:

It's all about finding the glove that fits.... People tend to generalize: fingerpickers need wider string spacing to pick those strings. Well it depends on many things. Like I said above I have medium size fingers, and wide spacing might feel friendly on the right hand but not on the left one.... Also maybe the fact that I grew up exclusively playing electrics, with narrower necks, got me used to the narrower spacing.guitardude said:

yeah that kinda makes sense: my 17 year old son plays electric in a black metal band "Musgrave", he really likes the neck on my M20. Mind you he plays up the other end of the fingerboard from me :lol:
