Whenever I see the phrase “an awful lot of…” I find it’s almost always reversable.

“you see an awful lot of $300 guitars”

but also:

“you see a lot of awful $300 guitars”

    I own/have owned just about every kind of guitar (in about 50 years of playing), and today’s “$300 guitars” can be fucking amazing.

    Most recently, for example: a new Jet SSH Strat…for $200 that (with a little home TLC) I’d put up against many over $1.5k instruments. A new Squire Custom Vintage Jazzmaster (open box) for $300 that smokes (see Chris Buck vid on these).

    The market is fundamentally different today and it doesn’t take a lot of money to have an A+ rig.
