The cost need not be anything unusual- just make the guitar the
physical form of a re-usable fetish or focus. If you have enchanting
and the needed gear, you can do this yourself. For starting character,
I'd just allow that, for the cost of normal fetish or foci (plus the
guitars cost), the guitar was enchanted as a fetish or a focus.

A question- does an objects status as a (re-usable) fetish prevent it
from also being a focus, or a fetish for other spells as well?
Ican'tsee in the enchantig / talismonging rules that it does,
exceptingit would require incorporating multiple setsof raw materials,
essentially giving you an "attached"set of fetishes that (theoretically)
couldbe seprated.

This being so, perhaps it would be smarter to enchant PARTS of the
above guitar as fetishes or foci (the bridge, the strings, the finger
plate, the neck, the tuning pegs, etc.). This makes sense from a
musicians perspective, at least, as individual components can make a
noticable diference in sound quality.
