I think OLP, the same wans that do the official Musicman copies do a lower priced version of these. There was definitely at least one going round Belfast, so there must be millions in the civilised world.

i went simply crazy when i saw the various steampunk/tank/boiler riveted tops with glass gauges... i'm not particularly fond of horror imagery, but those iron things left me speechless...
after all 5000$ are not too much... (warning, incoming GAS...) i must see the doctor...  :)

I like the carving and metalwork, but I'm not too crazy about the actual guitars.  The shapes are pretty ugly.
