theres got to be an income level for rich "pro"s
where top price big name guitars
can be passed off as tax deductions..
and basically end up costing them 'nothing'

which probably explains why such guitars
are so cynically overpriced to meet that'top earning artist' income level..


..and thats on top of the free guitars rich performers get
in highlty competitive product endorsement deals..

an interesting and significant historical detail
why some brandnames become associated with a 'pro' market
