Will a More Expensive Guitar Make You Sound Better?

While the answer is fairly obvious, a more expensive guitar should usually make you sound better (assuming you have some skill to begin with). A thousand dollar guitar in an idiot’s hands will not magically sound good. However, you don’t need the most expensive models to sound good. Theirs plenty of musicians that use Fender squier products instead of using the Made in America models. Your skill on the guitar will matter way more than what guitar you choose to play on. Jimi Hendrix or any other skilled guitarist would definitely sound way better than me no matter what guitar I choose I won’t be able to match up to their expertise when it comes to playing. You could probably give him a Walmart guitar and he would definitely find ways to sound more impressive than me. Skill will always overshine what guitar you own. But with that being said, most expensive models have a certain kind of sound that a basic model won’t be able to achieve. This especially comes true with electric models, you can invest in certain pedal boards and different gear that will completely change the way you sound, almost as if it were makeup. However, none of these things will be able to mask your bad technique if you struggle to play without it. The thing I love about guitar is that you can’t cheat your way through. No matter what guitar you have or what affects you enable, you still need a good amount of practice to even sound decent.
