Yeah. I'm not up on this model, but I thought the same thing -- Why is this priced so high? It's not even an ebony board. Nothing real fancy. It is a New Hartford with a burst, but....
I guess case candy on new guitars should include fingernail clippers.
This is new for me, but I spend quite a bit of time on my nails now, learned a lot about how to have decent nails, and it's all about the filing, they're like hooves, they have grain, file from the outside in. Filing is the key.
I had to earn how to do it myself, to avoid the "filing fees" ;-)
Those are crazy fingernail grooves, all the way to the G on the Low E?
I've never seen them much beyond the D chord area...
