Thread Name: Why are Martin Guitars so expensive?
Subject: RE: Why are Martin Guitars so expensive?
The question no one seems to have asked/answered is: what is it that makes guitars cost what they cost? If you had to work out percentages, is it the different kinds of wood that go up in price as you get better wood; or the workmanship, or what? When you jump price categories, is it because the woods change? or does the workmanship take longer? Just wondering. I assume it is a mix of both.....
