I prefer my own < 1000 EUR guitars to other low cost guitars, because I'm accustomed to play them, but because I'm not making music that often nowadays, I noticed that playing a guitar > 1000 EUR is easier to do, than playing my own guitars. IMO fingerboards, resp. the complete neck of more expensive guitars is better, often the guitars are better balanced, have better cutaways etc. pp., just the mechanics of old guitars often is less good. Sustain should be ok for < 1000 EUR e. guitars too, but sometimes new guitars (also the expensive new ones) don't sound like old electric guitars. I don't claim that new guitars do sound less good, I like some of the new guitars, but they do not sound like old guitars. However, IMO expensive guitars are better to play, sometimes even the position of the pots is better for expensive guitars and for sure an acoustic guitar with a good sound, that has clean octaves etc. always is expensive. Of course, I'm talking about 2000 to 3000 EUR and not about 15000 EUR ;). _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
