Bruce Sexauer is one of the finest builders out there. No doubt about it. And any guitar of his for under $10K is a screamin’ deal. This is one of his WRX line … all the quality woods and a top-shelf build expertise, but without fancy trim. His top-line guitars start at $18K, and new WRXs start at $12k, so at $9250, somebody really ought to snap this one up pronto!
