Amazon seems to post some crazy prices on guitars. I've gotten a few for what seems like cost or half price, including the recent Blueridge BR-240A that Zissou Intern also owns.
Currently, there's a BR-260A on Amazon for about $1000, which is the Rosewood/Adi version. Musician's Friend has it listed for $2150, so this seems like a steal. MSRP price is $2450. Maybe someone here will get it before the price doubles again.

Note: the body wood is actually Santos Rosewood, not EIR. I'm not familiar with Santos, but looking online, it seems to be a wood from Bolivia that's been used as a Rosewood substitute in furniture and gotten some traction with guitars. It's also known as Pau Ferro or Morado, and some people compare its density with Cocobolo.
