Actually, you more than likely would be, because you have to learn to play different for a crap gutiar and a quality guitar. Fretting a note too hard can cause it to sound out of tune, which is more than likely what you will do when going from crap to quality, because the notes will more than likely be much easier to fret on the good guitar. Learning a hard touch is much easier than learning a soft touch (especially if you already have a hard touch like I do).

Alas... opinions aperantly seem to vary with person to person....

Here's a saying I learned a long time ago, and it will prove very useful when communicating with people on an internet forum. "Opinions are like ass holes... everybody's got one." Also remember that opinions are not facts... they are views based on a single persons personal experience, and/or knowledge of the topic at hand.
