Here’s an analogy. A $500 guitar vs a $5000 guitar. A $500 guitar is likely going to be mass produced, with less attention to detail. The $5000 one, on the other hand, is most likely going to have every inch of the guitar crafted meticulously to great detail and the finish is going to be done much better. But does it sound 10 times better than the $500 one? Nope. But will you want to play it forever? Maybe. A guitar that can keep your attention to keep playing is the best guitar.

How,in the name of Zeus' thunder farting arse,does this cost almost 3 grand in USD?!

@Da_Swifta4 жыл бұрын
Sadžid Smajkić well, I’d say expensive stuff is worth it to a certain extent. If a $300 pedal is only marginally better than a $150 pedal of the same type, then the $150 is more worth it, but if there is a massive difference between the two in terms of quality and sound, maybe the $300 one is the better investment, as it’ll probably last longer and give you a wider range of sounds. Overpaying for something that isn’t that much better than the next best thing isn’t worth it, but if you’re serious about music and you know that you’d be getting something good out of it, something that’ll last for a long time, then it’s worth investing the money (as long as it’s not ridiculously expensive).

If you always "get what you pay for", then what is the point of shopping at all? That is such a well worn phrase that sounds like it should be true but almost never is. A lot of what people buy when they spend their money has absolutely nothing to do with the physical qualities of the object being purchased. People buy an image, a reputation, the agreement of their peers, a "vibe", a style, a perception of reality. Then they justify their purchase with illogical thinking like reality by consensus or confirmation bias.

I’m working on just building the perfect Strat for me. I’ve been modifying it one mod at a time, eventually going to have a Strat absolutely perfect where no other guitar can compete. 🎸 So far I’ve replaced the pickups from those super hot Duncan Designed pickups that came in it to boutique pickups that sound incredible. I originally wanted a Clapton mid boost (so I bought Zexcoils), but the set had a Tele-esque bridge, so I decided I would instead get a blender pot. After that, I’ll probably replace the master tone with a two way tone (cut bass or treble instead of just treble). That’ll be a great instrument (not that the replaced pickups aren’t that already). I love how single coils never get muddy.

But guitar, so many subtleties; if it weren’t, I would just change the pickups, bridge, and tuning keys. You really covered the necessary basics.

Thanks for the advice duuuude. I’m going for a Heritage H-150, which is a Les Paul style model made in the same factory that made 59’ Les Pauls and many more before Gibson’s move to TN in the 80s. I’ve been playing it at my local music shop for almost a year now, going out to Guitar Center and Sam Ash, other spots, playing Les Pauls, playing PRS Mark Tremontis, other things in that same single-cutaway style, and I always go back to A, The Heritage H-150, after A-B’ing many models. I been lusting over it like Wayne Campbell, ‘she will be mine, oh yes, she will be mine’. Very nice advice, and I did pay attention to many of the details that were never important to me when I first started playing guitar, but are now like ‘car backup cameras’, in that certain features are must haves for me, or that’s instant disqualification for a guitar to be. For me, must haves include rolled frets, where the binding and fret rolling are seamlessly done. Translucent (color, or natural) finish on the back of the guitar, so I can appreciate the wood grain for aesthetics, same scale 24.75 as Les Paul, no weight relief, just lighter wood choice, regular (not speed) knobs. Some practical, or playability requirements, some aesthetic. My tastes have evolved to what they are now, and I’m sure they’ll continue to evolve, but no tastes are wrong. If you lust over a Slash Signature Model Epiphone Les Paul, that’s great, it’s a beautiful guitar, plays great I’m sure, nothing wrong with that at all. In my view, it’s like choosing your bride 👰. You better be damn sure, same goes for a guitar. Finally made the layaway drop on it, now she WILL be mine in less than 90 days. Les Paul style, many of the same luthiers as Gibson’s golden era, Antique Sunburst finish. Already got a name for her, I’m gonna call her ‘Charlotte’ 😈🤘

I think it mainly depends on what style of music you play or your specific style. If you are a shredder, then go with Jackson, Ibanez, or ESP. If you're a bluesy player go with Fender. If you're riff guy into rock then Gibson would be the guitar for you. Also, pickups and tremolo are important because they determine the feel and tone of the guitar.

So - true - checking the intonation is a step I used to miss for many years - I only starting figuring that out over the past few years. I typically start with doing a little upfront research when buying any guitar. Look for any KZfaq vids in the genre I play in (rock/blues), see some reviews, and if there are any comparison vids that really show a traditional/low-end model v the higher end models. So much information out there. Then, I’ll look for a local shop that carries the gear. Good news is in my are between GC and independent music stores, I can find just about every flavor of guitar our there. Then I’ll find an amp like mine in the store - hook up, and start the test drive. I really focus on tone first. Playability comes second - only in the fact that I can setup my guitar pretty well - and if need be, I’ll throw $40 in to get it setup correctly. It’s a little dangerous as sometimes setup can affect tone - however, I’ve found many shops just don’t do setup - even with the higher end guitars. If it passes those tests, I take it home (and make sure the store I’m buying from has a good return policy). Then I’ll run it through many different things including several different type amps, DI into my DAW, etc. I have fun testing out new gear.

My first expensive guitar was a Schecter. Bad mistake because i wasnt really experinced. Then i bought a Chapman Ghostfret and its my absolute favorite. Sounds amazing and plays even better tho I destroyed the original nut because i put too heavy strings on it. :D And yes everything close to 1000€ is expensive to me.

Hi there! I think you can help me here! Let me explain: I’m a total newbie guitar guy. I play keyboards but I know almost nothing about guitars. Next month I’ll buy my first guitar, I really want to dedicate time to learn guitar playing (I’m 43 hehe kinda late). So I’ll go next month buy my very first guitar, and because of my age, and because I worked for it, I can buy an high end guitar. I actually was thinking PRS 594 single cut. The question here is: Can I do that or will it be losing money? Lots of people tells me that I have to buy some cheap Epiphone to start with and then go to the next level. But I feel like playing on a not so good one might demotivating me. Well... what you think about it? In my opinion I’d rather buy one guitar and stick with it the rest of my life! I know I can’t play yet but I’m musician so I know what are tones, feelings about instrument and so... well... that’s it! Hehe thanks for sharing videos like you do. Great content!

I shopped for an acoustic for 4 months I was dead set on an Ibanez I went to every store in town that sold instruments and played everyone in town when I finaly decided to stop limiting my search to just Ibanez I locked down a very beautiful Martin and I am so happy that I didn't settle

That guitar is maybe worth $800 max. Mahogany body maple neck light colored rosewood. Maybe locking tuners? Uncovered pickups, chrome Tele controls maybe a graphite nut? Uses a Gibson style bridge.. which is flawed in itself. Are the pickups branded? Sounded okay, but not $3000 and I’m sure the amp helped

Bolt on neck no strap locks. Really looks like an Epiphone. Nitpicking here but that’s a three screw truss rod cover akin to Epiphone.

When I saw the video thumb I thought you had a bargain basement epiphone. I think we've got way past the point now where a figured or burled top looks like something put on a cheaply made guitar to grab attention in a store. A nice guitar needs to sound right, play well and encourage me to play. And to get that sound it's got to be quality components throughout. My last build I spent pocket change on the wood but ended up with a high end bridge, sperzel locking tuners, a bone nut, and top quality electronics and every swap from parts bin components to top shelf made the tone a little better. If you're spending big money, there's no forgiving cheap pots or a flimsy switch. Everything has to be right. And the finish kind of comes last. On stage in a dim club nobody can see the fine finish.

Yes and no, a $20 piece of mahogany on a $3000 guitar is laughable and so are the highly figured tops on cheap guitars because they're extremely thin veneers, however big you ever look at a GOOD $3000 guitar with a figured top the top is usually at least a 1/2" thick slab of master grade figured wood which alone costs a luthier $250+300 for cheaper woods like maple to $1000+ for something like a master grade purple heart top This guitar is pathetically built

I mostly play metal so you would expect i would go for an LTD or Jackson or something but honestly i sat down one day in a guitar store with the intention to buy a new guitar and did exactly what you said "clear your mind of brands" and i walked away with a bright yellow music man axis. totally the opposite of something that i was used to or looking for aesthetically but it played so well.

You can look at it as the framus looking like an epiphone. Or maybe they're just making those epiphones so damn good. I'm just glad Tyler didn't use his PRS.

What does the "end"" in "high end" refer to? Is it the high end of the pricing spectrum? Or is it quality? Because my $399 Schecter does everything I need it to do, versatile enough for any gig, no noise so the sound guys love it, fit and finish are excellent, and they cut no corners when crafting the instrument. To me, my Schecter is high end! But to anyone buying an extremely expensive guitar, do not settle for anything less than the best! I see bassists buy brand new Fenders and Rickenbackers that have flaws, and they settle for keeping it just because it's Ric or Fender
@bryand.52405 жыл бұрын
Normally high end is where no expense is spared for the essentials Graphtech nuts instead of plastic High end machine heads such as Schallers, Sperzels, Hipshot, etc instead of the cheaper stuff like grover or ping High end machined bridges like OFR, USA Kahler, Wilkinson, Evertune,Tonepros, graphtech, etc etc High end pickups as in Duncan, DiMarzio,Gibson, Bare Knuckle etc etc etc Hell even woods an extremely figured slab of wood for a top can get quite expensive My main guitar is a Fender Heartfield Talon V which is fenders RG, it has everything I need, but I happily paid the $3000 for the GF I'm having built because it has everything I WANT
