General Guitar Question.... Help!... :)

[GuitarGuy503]

I've been wondering for quite some time now... What causes a guitar to be a lemon. I hear people talking about how every once in a while you can find an awesome sounding/playing Strat or Les Paul but once in a while a lemon can be found also. What exactly causes some guitars to be better than other ones of its same series or model? Can someone fill me in? Thanks in advance. :dance:

better woods, better pups, tighter neck pockets, a whole bunch of things could be the reason.

^^^^ that's pretty much it. I never really consider the electronics, as they're always replaced.

it's when your guitar is the friday afternoon jammy.............. :blackeye:

all seriousness though, i think it's a lack of QC from the wood chosen to the build process, like i've mentioned in other posts; my next axe will be by a luthier who puts thought and care into his workmanship
