Reply to comment by qwertpoiuy1029 in My cousin works for Gibson and just built a custom guitar for Elton John by slayez06

For generic custom shop items they start around 4k. I wanted a signed guitar from my family member with the signature under the finish...Just because I thought it would be cool to have in the family and pass down or something... I didn't exactly get told no... I just got told the STARTING price. I love guitars as much as the next person but I'm not a pro and there is no way I can justify that.... I'm crossing my fingers that's his white elephant gift for xmas some day!

I mean you can get a super high quality (higher quality than gibsons for sure) guitar for like 2k from a custom builder/luthier. And they will custimize it in any way you want, unlike gibson (or any other major name brand custom shop for that matter).
