I doubt the typical $1000 guitar is twice as good (however you measure that) as a $500 guitar. I'm sure that a $20,000 guitar isn't twenty times better than the $1000 instrument. But I'm just a beginner, so most of the differences are surely lost on me anyway.

Some of them sure are pretty, though.
You are absolutely right: the return to dollar spent curve flattens out as the cost goes up. But if you keep an open ear, the returns are there. (FYI I don't have any $20,000 guitars.)

Nice list, but the only one that pricked up MY ears was the Cordoba. Mainly because I know next to nothing about classical guitars and don't have one.

Nothing else on my bucket list.
