$3200 for a custom guitar built to an individual's specs is arguably reasonable.

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.
