they are discontinued. I think 1999 was the last year for them. Retail price on mine was $1495 but I got it for alot less because of a small defect in the paint on the back.

It is the most comfortable guitar I have played. The back is rounded perfectly so it doesnt feel like your holding an accoustic but the sound even without a sound hole is very much like an accoustic but for it to really shine you need an amp I dont play in a band but this guitar is meant to be played onstage with a band
