One you won't find is...
- "How much does one of these unusual guitars cost?" - like a classical guitar, prices vary by a factor of 10 or more!
What we can say is that the price is just about independent of the size of guitar - there is a premium to pay because they're not big sellers.
One excellent source of Niibori guitars is Aria - although modestly priced, the timber and construction are first class - see our UK suppliers FAQ.
