but u know, brands do matter. Im sure all of us feel bad if we spend too little on a guitar that is good but cheap when we have a bigger budget. We tend to want to get a pricier guitar or one with a better brand. After all, brands do matter dont u think? If u go around logging a say, schecter while your friend has a say, gibson. (ps im not saying schecter is better, only in prise wise comparison) Wouldnt people including yourself have the sterotypical thinking that your guitar is inferior?
