Ask HN: When was the last time you were surprised by something with a low price?
Have you ever bought a product or use a service that is "cheap" (ie very low priced) but is reliable and better than a higher priced alternatives?
For example: computer mouse, car, hosting provider, a food brand, etc.
- throwaway8879 8y agoI've owned a lot of great guitars but I find myself picking up the Squier Strat more than any other guitar I own. It did take some setting up and pickup replacement, but it plays so beautifully now. I'm willing to bet that nobody can tell the difference between the Squier and a proper vintage/boutique Fender Strat in a blind test. I know I can't.
