$3200 for a custom guitar built to an individual's specs is arguably reasonable.
However, if they are going to be producing these for general retail sale, most of the costs of producing the first ... |

I sit through it all. But that’s mostly out of convenience because I also sing, and to move from sitting to standing would also require a mic move (or setting up a separate standing station). | |

All of your 'statements' appear true except that in #2, you mixed up your strings. D is on strings 1 and 4, not 2 and 5. But the idea is correct - skip the D if you want a straight E minor chord. | |
