Come on, that's just being contrarian. Sure there's going to be anecdotal exceptions here and there, but yes I'd absolutely expect almost any $1000 guitar to be better in sound and feel than almost any $100 guitar.
- unfocussed_mike 5y agoNo, sorry, I don't think it is. Better, almost certainly (I have played a terrible $1000 guitar -- it was a Gretsch and if you have played guitars you know what I mean by this). But that isn't what the comment I am replying to is saying. It says absolutely and way better. And that just isn't supported by evidence if you ask me. Not least on the playability: if you treat the $100 guitar to the same setup as a $1000 guitar, you may well get an extremely similar experience. $100 guitars, particularly the ones from Aeirsi, can be extremely good. OK so the gap between $100 and $1000 is much bigger with acoustic guitars, as you'd expect. (That is if we stipulate there is much of a $100 acoustic guitar market. Can't be many). But a $100-ish Encore Strat clone in the right hands? not so much. And it's especially true of lap steel guitars, IMO. Some of the best ones are cheap, some expensive ones are terrible, and the 10x price multiplier adds less than you'd expect.
