"Spoiled" might be a way to put it.
Ever thought you might be too uptight? To many preconceived notions of how things are "supposed" to sound? Maybe become to precious in your approach? Maybe too serious - need to be a bit more playful and fun? Maybe you are afraid to make some noise and some "rude" sounds? Maybe need to play to the guitars strengths AND weaknesses? Maybe focus more on the tune than the tone?
Hopefully it isn't you've become a snob. Steel string guitars are folk instruments (although you sometimes wonder around here). But people are funny. There are $1500 cigar box guitars out there. It sort of defeats the idea. I can understand that some people may want to transform "folk" music into "high art" and think of guitars in the way classical musicians think of violins. But wishing don't make it so.
If you really feel that way - if someone hands you a "cheap" guitar. Say I don't play "cheap guitar", I play "expensive guitar". Cause that is kinda what you are implying.
