You're talking about the difference between a Martin and a First Act. Yes, absolutely. Now if the price distinction had been 1000 and 500 I'd say quality differences could be hit or miss. Even then that's the difference between a Martin and a nice Ovation, I guarantee you the Martin feels and sounds better. You can get a good Fender acoustic for $500 that will feel and sound really good, maybe that comes down to taste. But a $100 guitar? It's a children's toy guaranteed.

The post does not specify acoustic guitars, I would note. And it says way better as well as absolutely. Acoustics: the rule is more likely to apply, I will grant you that. But playability is about setup. Treat a cheap guitar to the same level of setup as you treat an expensive one and the gap could disappear. Electrics? ehhh. A typical (non-specialist) $1000 electric guitar is a waste of at least $700, and everyone who has bought more than one in the last decade knows it.
