Buying New Guitar? Read This First... Options

[ztevie]

Many ppl here developing their skills are on the lookout for new guitars, and many threads are about which brand they should buy.
Here's a thread from Jemsite that I think is very nice read before we spend our hard earned money. I think the guy is very right in what he's saying. we all believe that an expensive guitar must be better, and one brand must be better than the other, but is it really always true?
I believe some brands, which are very popular, of course are more expensive. But not necessarily because they are better, but just because they are popular.
Think about it, a guitar company want to make the highest possible profit, as every other business. So if they can sell 100 guitars for $1000, compared to 200 guitars for $400, of course they will.
Fender and Gibson have the reputation of being superior, so of course they ride on that wave of popularity, and the prices are accordingly..
Now before you Fender/Gibson/Suhr/whatever lovers out there start to bash me, let me explain that I am not saying these main brands are bad, but this is something to think about, we may be able to spend some of our money on other gear, instead of spending them on the logo that is printed o the guitar...

Oh yes, the thread: http://www.jemsite.com/forums/f19/your-gon...n-me-76242.html
