A nice guitar costs just as much, despite being functionally equivalent to one 1/3 its price. There’s not a ton of rationality in music gear, people like what

- ilyt 4y agoWhy you are comparing guitar to a synth ? Nice guitar (aside brand tax) has actual cost to make it, plastic toy like OP-1 is very cheap in comparison. Hell, it's probably cheaper to make than random ass $500 behringer synth, even at unit count
- Supernaut 4y agoWith respect, that comparison fails, because a $1,500 guitar will be noticeably more playable and have a substantially better sound than a $500 guitar. (Source: have played guitar for 35 years.) The point people are making here is that everything the OP-1 does can be achieved or surpassed with a couple of $10 apps and a low-end general purpose computing device.
