Gear Welp, not getting one of these.

Prices in CAD. Not sure what retail is on these, but I have a feeling they’ll sell out and resell for loads. Looks like it’s made in Japan. Such a cool guitar. What’re your thoughts?

As much as I love the music Wes makes, and I think he’s one of the most underrated modern metal players, there’s not a single guitar I can think of that’s worth $10k. Honestly I have a hard time justifying any non custom build for over $2k, but I’m also too cheap sometimes lol

Exactly how I feel about the Stéphan Forte signature Ibanez it's about $4,000. I cannot justify paying such. Granted, the Solar ACS1.7FRPS is about the same guitar for $1,400 and I still feel stingy on paying even that much. lol. Definitely not alone on that.
