Here’s a common mistake.
You buy a cheap guitar thinking you’ll upgrade it later. New pickups. Better tuners. Maybe a new bridge. A few improvements here, a few improvements there…
Why would you put yourself through all that? Just buy the expensive guitar.
Think about it. People say less is more. Fine.
But more is also more. And when it comes to guitars, more has the considerable advantage of being… well, more.
So take the Yngwie approach to life: why settle for less when you can have more?
Buy the expensive guitar. Then upgrade that one too. Better pickups. Better tuners. New bridge. Something unnecessary made of brass.
There. You’ve successfully avoided wasting money upgrading a cheap guitar by spending considerably more money upgrading an expensive one.
You’re welcome.
