I am wondering why (most) of us feel we have to have an expensive guitar to play with. Some "pro" players use guitars that can be considered cheap, but they use them to recortd, and tour with. They will use these guitars more than most of us will, and can even afford about any make or model they choose. As long as the guitar stays in tune, and sounds good, why do we feel we have to pay so much $$$ for a "great" one? Just want some of your thoughts on this.
