Guitar Snobbery (lemmy.world)

Anyone else amused, and also repulsed by guitar player snobbery?

I'm talking vintage vs modern, poly vs nitro, laurel vs pau ferro vs rosewood, "tonewood," solid state vs tube, etc.?

It's absolute insanity on other forums, especially the "big" one.

What say you?

I've owned dozens of guitars over the last 40 years, including real Les Paul Customs, and high end Stratocasters. My very favorite one is a Yamaha Pacifica 112v that I bought used for $200. I leveled the frets, adjusted the relief, put some cheap Oripure single sized humbuckers wired parallel in the neck and middle, and a Oripure PAF clone in the bridge. I added a Graphtech XL nut, string trees, saddles, and Hipshot locking tuners.

It plays and sounds great, and stays in tune like a rock. I can play any genre with it. I'll never part with it. My Yamaha Revstar MK2 is a very close 2nd. I adore them both.

I don't have a lot of experience with really nice guitars, but I really enjoy the two cheap ones I currently own!
