If you are a canny shopper you can get a cheap guitar which is better than the main brands. I've got a 89 squire Korean strat from the samick factory. Mint condition but with iron gear pick ups and all new electrics. It's fantastic. No wonder fender pulled production from samick. Taking too high a market share...

@rockerseven 2 ай бұрын

Honestly, I'd say it comes down to machines getting better. The cheaper guitars are usually just machine made whereas the expensive ones are handmade, but because machines can get so much more precise compared to what they used to, really what you're paying for on the expensive ones is the labor. That said, the cheaper ones do usually have lower quality hardware and electronics...BUT, you could always swap those out for higher end ones if you ever wanted. At the end of the day, the main thing to concern yourself with would be the base guitar. Ie. The wood, the neck, and the fretboard. As long as those are all decent, you can easily swap everything else out. That said...I absolutely love my American made guitars for what they are, but I also have a Chinese made guitar that I love as well, and it already came with some of the upgrades I would've wanted to put in.

Some of the 7k Gibsons won't be played, but others will - if you can afford an expensive guitar like that, you aren't really that concerned about the money. And equally a lot of the £169 guitars will be played once or twice and then live under the bed or in the attic because the owners lose interest. That's life - does it really matter?

@OddoRocket 7 жыл бұрын

Jonathan Oakey it really depends on the player. Some might not mind taking the 7k guitar out of the case and playing it, as apposed to keeping it mint in the case. Also depending on the interest level of the person playing the affordable guitar it may get played allot, or it may just stay in storage

The time spent manufacturing the $7000 guitar is much higher than on the $1000 guitar. And they had to basically build a whole new assembly line for a limited run. I'm glad that the results turned out so well after the risk of basically re-creating an old design. I wonder why they don't make more of them? Perhaps the labor costs are the biggest part of that price tag.

The guitars out of the custom shop are definitely handmade and consistent. Gibson has never claimed to cater to a crowd with a low price point however they have always made efforts to make some affordable guitars with solid quality. Gibson claim to fame however has always been as an exclusive brand for serious players. Fender has done the complete opposite and has tried to make a good balance between quality and price. Its just two different business styles and they both work. No need to dislike the company for it.

Gibson uses many re-branded Chinese parts in even their hyper-expensive Les Pauls. Plus, most of those parts are made in the same factory with many of the same materials used in Epiphone and whatever other guitar brands are made there. People give WAY too much credit to the name on a headstock without bothering to do research. These two are trying to sell you the most expensive guitar. That's why Chapman pushes the 'Tonewood' myth for electric guitars. It's a marketing ploy and a complete fraud.

There's no shame in that affordable guitar. It plays well sounds good and looks good. In the 80s when I started there were no playable guitars that cost less than 500$. I bought a Japanese made fender strat with a locking tremolo that fell apart. It cost over 800$ back then. My amp picked up local radio stations. It's so much better today.

Maria Benavides - Or stupid with their money. The wood only varies in price on an electric guitar. It doesn't affect tone. Pickups can only be made one way using a couple types of magnets and a specific gauge of wire. People pay for a name. Any Epiphone can have the hardware (bridge, pots, tuning keys) upgraded to as good as, if not better than, that overpriced 'Custom Shop' Gibson.

Cheap guitars tend to lack overtones and sustain when compared to more expensive builds. Bottom-of-the-line parts usually are harder to get perfectly tuned and go out of tune more quickly; fit and finish is often lacking due to less time spent on each guitar. But once you get to the mid-level pricing, these differences rapidly diminish.

Michael Huang you'd probably have to pay a lot more for that.

but like you realize people have to touch it to manufacture, package, and put the guitar on display. If you're seeing the guitar to buy it someone has touched it. Sorry.

It's better to have a Cheap guitar and a good amp than a Good guitar and a cheap amp.

Ryan 'Fluff' Bruce proved this perfectly when he bought the cheapest guitar on Amazon and it still sounded good.

Listening to these 2 in a comparison vid where Rob is playing great anyway and using higher gain, you can’t go wrong. I’m all for high end and expensive guitars and the difference in quality is normally obvious but in this vid, with the mic set up and all, they sound just as good as each other. That’s the thing

I was expecting more than 7000 quid tbh, suppose it makes sense to stock things that actually have a chance of being sold though!

Captain Asteroid a few of the guitar centers near me have those stupid $20,000 prs behind glass. not even worth looking at

7000 quid for a piece of wood and magnets is fucking ridiculous no matter what.

Slightly agree. You can get killer professional gig able tone from a $1000 guitar

If you think the guy that makes these has a ridiculous salary, you'd be mistaken. What would you consider a ridiculous salary?

People who buy those are the people who are so rich they have nothing else to do with their money, if I was a millionaire I'd buy guitars like that just cuz I can

Hello from Canada! I have watched many Chappers and the Captain videos and after watching this video I subscribed, just a brutally honest video, (like all their other videos)! Thanks for the post!

I bet the cheap one will be a rare collectible, after some budding neo makes it big using one. You won't be able to find anywhere. I got a late 60's jaguar in the late 70's for about $200, and sold it a few years later for about the same. They go for around 6k now...

I sold my 78 strat about 15 years ago for what you'd pay for a 70's neck now 😉 I always make sure to remember though, it was a piece of sh*t..
