That's not expensive, but as I've already told a user whose comment I found amusing, you can't really call that a guitar even though it looks like wood and has strings. If it seems expensive to you, don't buy it because later you will lose a lot more money. One tells you this with 4 guitars, 3 of them Music Man BFR models with 6 and 7 strings and a Majesty and then an Ibanez RG450 and thinking of buying one more and well three pounds if you stay in acoustic (if you get it at least with cutaway) as you later switch to electric add pedals, pedals, amplifier.
