When I started to play guitar I couldn't afford much, I bought the best my budget would allow.
Now many years later I can afford the guitars I want. I would like to add, I still have and play that very first guitar I bought.

True. correlation does not equate to causation. But correlation can be in indicator.

Thank you everyone who has contributed to this thread! I’ve enjoyed reading your opinions (reasons) on why you buy and own the guitars you have.

I was searching for a particular tone for almost 2 years with a ballpark price in mind. Financially, I could afford to go crazy but I wanted only one instrument that has the sound that speaks to me and travel with me wherever I go internationally. Played many instruments and I ended up picking this OM without knowing the company, or what the woods are/do for the sound. I learned all that in this forum!

The guitar, by itself, is an art. An art to be appreciated.
Just like any art form, there are expensive ones and cheaper ones. It depends on your taste rather than your wallet. |

When I was younger money went for kids, cars, food, and house. I had decent but inexpensive Epiphones, Taks and Alvarez.
After the kids were out of the house I had more money and could afford nicer and have ended up with a couple of Martins, one of them a 000-42 that I bought for my pending retirement. |

......not going to read 9 pages of comments. I struggled for many years and have only recently been able to afford the things I dreamed about in my youth. Worth the wait.

Why do some own economically- priced guitars and some own high-end guitars?
Quote:
Thanks for that comment, Wade. Some general thoughts follow. Like Wade, many of us own guitars of all values. But I would ask what is an economically priced guitar? What is a "high-end" guitar? The answers to these questions will vary from person to person. I really don't want to talk pricing per se, but I will say that buying used can get you some great deals. There is a price point for guitars which seems to exist mostly between solid wood body guitars and laminated body guitars. This seems to be a large factor in the cost of steel string guitars in general, and which seems to exist for new instruments around the 1K price point. (Yes, I know it can be higher or lower; just an throwing out an estimated number.) This can be a crucial divide for many players. Is this where 'high-end' and 'economically-priced' meet? Is there a middle ground? Don .
