I dig the swimming pool color but what makes this worth the asking price, without seeing the specs I'm not sure. Is it the artwork?

I'd guess that:
it's a Custom Shop guitar = always jacks the price up
complex graphic = expensive
glow in the dark paint = expensive
if you compare it to the Warrior on their site:
which isn't that far removed from the production WR1 (custom colour, reverse h/s), most of the price diff in the Soloist would appear to be the graphic & paint.Hail yesterday -
It's not worth that price. It's a soloist with a fancy paint job. Big deal. I'm sure that one will be sitting for a while. Problem is DCGL probably has too much in it to dump or sell it for a reasonble price in the future. If I were a dealer and I had an itch to do a custom shop, I would make it more appealing to a wider market ie.squid flames, or quilt top.

As well it's stringthrough/TOM, which is not a standard USA Soloist option. While they do have a template to do those things with, the nature of Custom Shop models now is that they have a bit more attention to detail than in the past, which means taking their time to set things up.
Time = Money, so the more time you spend on something, the more money it costs to produce. Add to that the custom paintjob AND the glow-in-the-dark paint, as well as dealer markup, and the price goes through the roof.I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

SL2HT = $1800 street in a solid color
So they think the graphic is worth $3500...

The problem is someone could well pay that much. It'll sit there for a week or two, then drop back down to map.Comment

Well, if you consider the contracted artist's pay rate, you can assume the work is being done for ~$1500 at least, more if there's a lot of extra work involved.Originally posted by thetroy View Post
So they didn't pay $3500 for the graphic, but they double what it cost them to have it done so they make that money back AND make enough to have another one done.I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

I highly doubt the artist was paid that much. I would be surprised if the artist made more than $500 or so.Originally posted by Newc View PostComment
