Reportedly, back some decades ago, someone stood in awe of Chet Atkins playing a Country Gentleman and remarked how beautiful the guitar sounded.

Mr. Guitar reportedly took his hands from the instrument and asked, "How good does it sound, now?"

And the great Ry Cooder likes cheap guitars and beater cars.


My dad always tells a story about his buddy seeing John Fahey playing a show with a $40 Harmony guitar. His buddy went up to him after the show and asked why he didn't play something more expensive, to which Fahey answered, "What's the matter? Was it not good enough for you?"

Only amp and guitar factored: 60%amp, 40% guitar

How I really see it: 85% Hands of player, 10% amp, 5% guitar.


That's pretty close to the way I see it.

Mine would be:@80% Hands of player, @18% amp, @2% guitar (or there abouts) :lol:

Based on what I spent for my first professional quality guitar and professional quality amp many years ago, I'd say approximately

25% guitar
75% amp

I would say 60% amp and connected gear and 40% guitar.
