I see your point Buggi... I actually I'm ok with it because I know how they work, they considere themselves a "production in line" company... Beside you can order on your specification, they understand the "customization" for that kinda of thing, that is absolutely normal in a luthier, as a break of the production...
As I said, seeying for that side is ok, thinking you're ordering a custom guitar is a bit weird... But the quality of the product make it worth the while, IMO... :)
(also, I live in a country that the currency is cheap, so every penny ends being a lot to me :) )
