    I definitely agree with this l recently bought a new guitar, l was a bit disappointed that it didn’t sound 11x better than my cheap beginner guitar but after a while l took pride in that my diligent practice over the years, allowed me to push my cheap instrument to sound almost as good as the more expensive one, that said the more expensive instrument allowed me to do more as it almost feels like it’s playing for you in a sense, it takes less mental bandwidth so it allows you to push rather than fight you as you evolve.

    Love that you can squeeze such a lovely sound out of a cheap guitar. I remember when I upgraded from my old guitar (which I got for free and my teacher reckoned was £40 forty years ago) to my current one which I think was about £500. It was such a huge step up but I'm glad I got a good one when I did because it made me appreciate how nice my current one really is.

    No musician, I am an artist here, in the middle of a discussion of working materials I had this friend who became my teacher years later. He was sharpening a pencil and drawing an incredible and realistic face on his desk with the graphite powder and his finger. The discussion ended there. No matter how many expensive materials you buy because that will not make you better, only the practice. On the other hand, practice makes it possible for you to enjoy good and expensive materials and makes them look better, taking out their full potential.

    For someone like me, who doesn’t play guitar and doesn’t necessarily have discerning ears, the two guitars sounded almost the same. I’m sure someone more knowledgable would be able to pick up more of a difference, but like the others have pointed out, skill definitely matters more than the price of the guitar itself.

    I love guitar but I'm not a connaisseur. To me there was a clear difference between the 2 guitars, the cheap one sounded more dry-like, like the sound didn't last long. Whereas the expensive guitar had a lot more vibration and lasting sounds, kind of like an atmosphere sound. Maybe I'm crazy but that's how it sounded like to me. I wouldn't say the cheap one sounded bad, they're just different.

      Other than the small size, the cheap guitar actually feels really nice. It has a noticeably lower action than my nice guitar. But high-end classical guitars often have higher action to allow you to play louder - since you can pluck the strings harder without worrying about them rattling against the frets

  • @Zazulastudios

    What ive learned from a decade plus of playing is that even a broken clock is right twice a day. Sometimes a cheaply made guitar gets put together perfect and it sounds like heaven, by pure coincidence. There was a $100 yamaha and it was the most "musical" of any acoustic guitar ive ever played. It was already gone when payday came around :( se la vie *smokes cigarette*

    As a person that knows little about guitars, I would have thought that the cheap one is just some other, special type that has that sound signature on purpose. I think it sounds worse, but only due to my preferences, and not because I can detect some sort of harmonic interferece or noise.
    In other words, 10k is a massive waste of money.
