Re: Quality gear... who knew?
What of the benefits, though? The truth of the matter is that most of the concrete differences between budget and premium end guitars are matters of preference and aesthetics, such as nicer looking grains, nitro finish, steel metal parts, cloth hookup wire, niceties that don't directly effect the playability of the instrument, but that's at odds with a post like OPs that speak up the playability of a premium guitar when all the real actual benefits are largely symbolic or cosmetic. The tolerances in guitar manufacture have become so close over the years that you don't require a luthier made guitar to acquire precision in fret setting, neck straightness, evenness in curvature, nut notches, etc. The bottom line is that OP might not have liked his few cheap guitars, but they are not representative of all cheap guitars, and it wasn't necessary to seek out an MIA in order to have a guitar that overcomes those particular shortcomings.
