Of course you are right and great that you have a fine guitar.

Absolute statements can sound off. Folks accusing players who spend a lot of money for having their snoots up is just as off as someone being dismissed for not being able to hear things.

I have really enjoyed spending years learning about what works for me, going to shops and trying as many guitars as I can. Owning a bunch and living with them to see how my relationship with them evolves.

Learning how I define good vs. great, and then being able to identify the very, very few great (for me) guitars that I come across has been a really fun part of my time as a guitarist.
