oh, they cut other peoples expensive guitars up?
Yes. Yes, they do.
Well, not terribly expensive guitars. They did do a PRS acoustic and they've done a Gibson G45.
The guitar in the linked video is about $750 without a case. So, not that expensive.
Thats nothing compared to the prices you mentioned earlier
Yeah, they don't really need to cut their own guitars in half. They put 'em through a good torture test and have valuable results. I quite like what they do - even though it's destroying a guitar.
Like, I hate it when some stupid fucker smashes a guitar on stage. I have zero problems with this. They're only cutting in half mass-market guitars and it's informative. It's beneficial, even. The people doing it are VERY qualified luthiers. They know what the fuck they're talking about and give wonderful information and opinions.
Otherwise, I'd have not recommended you watch their channel. Their channel isn't them trying to sell $15k guitars. It's far more informative and they don't even normally push their guitars. They don't need to. They're certainly making guitars at capacity already, because people are willing to pay those prices.
You know how I said it wasn't $13,000 better than a $2000 guitar? Well, it's also not $23k (assuming you hit the 22k mark) worse than a $50k guitar. They're very, very good. Plus, if you ever have a problem you know exactly who to call to bitch at - and they will make it right.
