It's not that the guitar sounds lousy, it's more like something just sounds a little off. And I'm attributing this to the subjectivity of myself (the player/listener), rather than the guitar itself.

Think of it as the tuner saying, "Yep, that's a D," but my ears are saying, "Nope, something's off a little." Then at other times, we are all in agreement that is in fact a correct open D chord.

I think I remember watching an Eric Johnson DVD in which he intentionally mis-tunes his Strat a little so the chords sound better to him.
