I didnt really explain myself well before and maybe I am not now but I think what I am trying to say is that the value of the guitar is in the head, but certainly not in the product. I think the value of a guitar in the mind of a player makes it worth more money than they are sold for.
My Mother offered to buy me a cheap car or a Swiss watch for my 21st birthday, I took the watch (I just wanted a card, really). Now I could have got a thousand watches from China for the price, so my watch is terrible value, shocking value. However, it has such sentimental value that I would sell my liver first before that watch and so it is worth a million times more than a 'made in China'. Priceless value. I put guitar in that bracket. I can barely play and I am in love.
I know I have rambled there. Sorry guys! Do you get what I mean though? I didnt mean to step on anybody's toes. I am dyslexic, so getting my point across in a couple of words isnt my forte.
