Let's face it, a guitar gains a reputation for sounding "good" when it is played by a bunch of competent and well known players over a certain period of time.
Everything else is just blah blah blah.
I don't think it's a shame that fit and finish be the only non-subjective aspects of a guitar. It just shows that there's ears for all kinds of sounds.
Even though it is a taboo topic among purists, people still buy with their eyes. Ugly guitars don't sell. They never will.
