For me newbies is okay use cheap guitar but if you become professional i feel not worth it because not all the time the sound base on what you've done but sometimes it's depends on the quality of material
not to be rude but, this is such a lie you can tell The reality: usually cheap guitars can buzz and sound dead more often even with practice,usually its the bridge that is the problem as it might be a bit too close to the frets. Another solution might be switching strings (after you fix the bridge) but overall expensive and cheap are still the same build
I'm not sure if it's just my observation but I feel like you took more care playing and finessing the notes on the expensive guitar. A little heavy handed on the odd strum etc. Sometimes when playing a pricey instrument it makes the musician have a deeper respect and this reflects in the playing too.
@@60secondpages You are right, but it is usually much easier to feel the spacing and each string on a good guitar. So it is easier to “finesse” - I agree with you, but good guitar builds show off in that the player is typically more comfortable with the neck shape, the finish, the balance of the guitar in your lap, the spacing is accurate, the strings feel not as stiff because the good brands usually do not go cheap on the guitar strings either. Also, let’s face it, a good guitar can sometimes inspire you to play a little better. Maybe also, he played the Larivee second and that is like using the cheap guitar for a little finger stretching and coordination warm-up. I thought the cheap guitar sounded really good also, but this is the player coming through for it. .
Thats an awesome question Carl. And it made me think alot! I think as it goes I've played so many of the things now that its gotten to a point where I do feel like most of them are "just guitars" but then something will pop up out of the wood work (pun intended) and really blow me away and have a really special character to it. The Aristedes guitars on demo at this years United Kingdom Tech Fest where such guitars! The model I tried was so different and cool and had this feel and sound and response unlike anything I had ever tried before. Thanks for your thought provoking question Carl! - Stay awesome - Sam
@@HickiesMusicStore I’ve heard that question answered many times & in many ways before!! But, I think you pretty much nailed it!!! Very well said man🎶✊🏼☮️
i have 10 at the moment, all "keepers" from the 60 or so i've bought and sold over the last ten years, my little formica martin i paid £350 for - with case - knocks the socks off of everything - i have demos on my channel.

@@JamesThomas-zl9er the real difference will be in the bass especially if you fingerpick, laminate guitars always sound hollow in the bass compared to solid wood. the wood / glue / wood / glue / wood absorbs the sound.
@@HarryNicNicholas agreed, and I’m reasonably sure people accommodate all but the most heinous of imperfections with eq etc.. so only a purely acoustic performance would be subject these limitations. Budget is a big issue for most of us…
that high end sparkle is common and a very compressed sound. with a decent recording space and equipment you can always crank the highs on a fuller sounding warm guitar
There's just a feel that comes with a quality guitar. I'm so glad I can afford a higher quality guitar because I played too many cheap ones and it sucks just to hold one let alone strum it
Blame your skill not your tools man. Many poor kid in Asia play insanely good with these kind of guitars you talking about. If you can not make a Cort sound good you can not make your D42 Martin sound good either
Absolute BS. Sorry, but if you learn how to do a decent set up and put your favourite strings on then any guitar plays well. Sometimes a little modification can help improve it such as the tuners, nut etc but there’s not much difference with a good set up. If you didn’t have the money, you’d be extremely happy with a cheap one.
Great playing! I spent a semester living in Japan (in 2001), i bought a cheap 3/4scale guitar for about 76usd, just to have something to play. I played it for about 1 to 2 hours a day, and it was terrible, even though it looked nice, but i got okay with it. Then i had a teacher at the college ask me to play/sing some country, folk, and rock for a class he taught on American culture. I showed up expecting like 20 kids and to my surprise, there was full out stadium seating in an auditorium and 500 to 800 or so students! There was a Japanese student with me who i had never met, and he was playing a $1500 plus Talkamine beside me and my tiny little mic'd up shoebox with strings! We played some Garth, some Cat Stevens, etc. Maybe it was the magic of the PA, but all things considered, it wasn't too bad. That thing felt like you were playing a raccoon coffin, but at the end of the day, it got me through!
Im totally a beginner. Well not even a beginner, just got an old acoustic guitar from my uncle . Im 24 now and i know it's quite late to learn guitar but i just wanted to dove deep into music. Im looking for guitar strings coz the one in the old guitar has some buzz sounds . Any recommendations on which strings to get? What i want is not something which sounds sharp or bright, i kinda want something deeper which sounds like its coming from the soul like when i strum i wanna hear bass as well . Sorry i can't explain it well since i have no knowledge in guitar. But if anyone understands this , you're a legend 😂😂.
Thanks for the feedback Jan! On reflection we think that the microphone we used here was on the very simple side, perhaps we should go for a run of these videos using some more upmarket mics!? Food for thought indeed. As ever, thanks for the comment! :) - Sam
So I guess it is fun for this guy to make this comparison after he has become super proficient at playing. If he had to play the Cort exclusively since he first started playing, he probably wouldn’t have become as good a player as he is now because playing the guitar wouldn’t have been as rewarding.
Incorrect - I struggled on a 3rd hand ibanez roadstar 2 electric with it's locking nut removed for years before moving onto better guitars. This made me appreciate well put together instruments even more as time went on. Appreciate your insight though.
I’m really wondering about the action… To be able to do all of those hammer-ons … Or all of that tapping. It seems to be one of the difference between an expensive guitar and a cheap guitar is the set up… I expect a cheap guitar to have strings that are much higher off the fretboard. But you are a heck of a player with a lot of skill and probably a lot of hand strength. Amazing.
Really only a rather quick test here with these short videos man, but thanks so much for your kind words! One thing I've noticed is that the better quality the build, the better then extent of setting up the guitar can be, this is much more so for electric models but in the same vein. Have a great new year, and stay awesome! - Sam
@@HickiesMusicStore Rock on, Happy Holidays! 🎄❤️⭐️🎁 Quick question… I found a very nice guitar in the garbage. In perfect condition. A little Maestro by Gibson.

I spoke to someone about it who said something about a neck reset. But I’m not sure Negri said it’s going to help with the intonation.

well, the player notices, i have done tons of comparisons on my own channel and i really am hard pressed to tell the difference between a 66 J45 and £25 unbranded guitar on the recording, but they feel entirely different in my hand.
@@HickiesMusicStore Sure in an A-B test in a less than 1 minute short, you can tell. But no one plays their cheap guitar within a few seconds of an expensive one.
Should be said, even the "expensive" guitar here is not particularly expensive (relative to the world of acoustic guitars offered), it looks like a Larrivee L-03, which is I think their cheapest offering (trim-wise), based on the satin finish and the oval paper label, which indicates it was made in California.. OTOH, at least back 12 years ago when I was shopping around, Larrivee was the unspoken secret of the guitar world as far as quality-for-price. The 03 trim still had all of the basics of what should make a top-tier guitar, so I guess the comparison mostly still stands: namely all-solid-wood construction (and Larrivee's signature L shape, which is widely considered as the precursor to Taylor's signature GA shape, considering one of the founders of Taylor was a former Larrivee employee!)
The main thing when buying a guitar is to buy one in your budget that keeps you playing. Cheap guitars with a good setup can be great, but without the setup, some players might quit
Its super cheap! Would love to be able to record stereo rooms and pencil/nice condensor close, but sadly, we just don't have the stock where are! Hopefuly one day! Cheers! - Sam

In India being a Nepali myself what you're showing as a cheap guitar in this video would actually be considered as a very great acoustic guitar. You really haven't played the Givson, Grason, Hovner, Signature, and so on...😂 Our 'good' upgrade from those guitars would actually be the guitar you're stating as 'cheap' in this video 💯🫠
John 3 verse 16 ^_^ please search the Gospel (Bible) all who read this. Your soul is far to precious to gamble in thinking there is no hell or need for salvation in The Lord Jesus Blessings friends ^_^
in my opinion, on that style you was playing the cheaper one in my end sound better.... when you change to expensive one sound very muddy and too much warm and too much low end doesn't appreciate what you playing.... not all cheaper guitar sound cheaper... its depends.
Can you please reply. Is that cheapest guitar is cort ad810. It is my dream guitar.what is your honest answer about build quality and sound. Can I buy it
The tapping sounded better on the cheaper one whereas the strumming part sounded better on the expensive one.Just shows u can't have everything in a single instrument.
I think the really big difference you get in cheap vs expensive is if the guitar cracks or breaks the real wood guitar is going to repair better and easier then a laminate or guitar they also break differently. And yes a real wood guitar is going to sound a little better then a fake wood guitar but cheap guitar have come a long way.
I tattoo. While I use a fairly expensive tattoo machine, I can make a clean, solid tattoo with the cheapest working tattoo machine on eBay, or with one made from any rotary motor found at home. The investment that matters is the time invested in yourself to master your craft.
The truth is once you learn the instrument you become eligible to claim for a new expensive guitar from your parents which they will eventually deny and you will end up playing the cheap one which you have for the rest of your life
balance stability and clarity that is expensive guitar . cheap one is more like buzzing and moreover skill is important so then any guitar can make sound good
Stability! Now there is a good point. Sometimes can be difficult to showcase how sturdy a guitar is from just playing it. Perhaps putting both in flightcases, then shipping them around the world, then checking the tuning would make for a fun video! Thanks so much for your comment - Sanjith, stay awesome! - Sam
IMO, the best guitar is the one that speaks most to the player, not necessarily the one that costs more. If youre comfortable with the instrument, youre more likely to be relaxed and uninhibited. I have an expensive accoustic that I bought a couple of decades ago that most often collects dust in the closet. My favorite accoustic is a Martin GPC costing less than half as much. Its warm tone gets me where I need to be.
The expensive one is so much better . Even the execution is smoother cuz it's more comfortable to play some techniques can't be done well on cheap guitar. On electric the difference can be less evident but on acoustic the gap is huge . if you add that most of the time you pay for a instrument more comfortable to play than the sound ... well . But that doesn't mean you can't find a good instrument for your budget . Just don't go too cheap ... that cort is awful to play . I tried one and i had a cheap guitar of the same kind in the past . you just destroy your fingers.
maybe cheap Cort but he still has good quality, expensive guitar Larrivee I've seen Aaron Terrapin play that guitar Larrivee has a warm and calm tone like a rainforest, I was very interested in seeing Larrivee for the first time in terms of the design and body of the guitar that fits very elegantly and luxuriously. Is there a Larrivee guitar in Indonesia?
@@HickiesMusicStore it's amazing, i appreciate it i hope someday i can buy it. I hope that Larrivée guitar factory has many branches in other countries
It’s not all about the sound as much as it is playability. I mean if you have a guitar that sounds great, like a Martin D15m, and it does sound great, but it’s a bit hard to play, then what do you really have? It be better to buy a guitar that you feel personally is really good for you not only that way it sounds, but how you can play it. If that play ability causes you to have to pay a little more to get better action, then that might be the thing you have to do. I feel if you’re on a budget Alverez offers some really great guitars for good prices and you get both good sound and action. I’d rather have a Taylor of course but the Alverez they do offer a pretty good guitar for a budget price.
Its a very quick rendition of a song from my band - ruclips.net/video/S1jNSHhwQgw/видео.html So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much Jacob, and stay awesome!

balance stability and clarity that is expensive guitar . cheap one is more like buzzing and moreover skill is important so then any guitar can make sound good
Stability! Now there is a good point. Sometimes can be difficult to showcase how sturdy a guitar is from just playing it. Perhaps putting both in flightcases, then shipping them around the world, then checking the tuning would make for a fun video! Thanks so much for your comment - Sanjith, stay awesome! - Sam

How bout you play something normal so we can try and hear a difference 🫨
I never was a fan of high priced guitars as far as sound goes a $300 Yamaha is pretty damn good
Larrivees always sound better
I liked the cheap guitar it’s very good!
The sound is better on the expensive one.. but also. The cheap one is likely to not hold ip
Imo this is a bad song to demo them on. It sounds bad on the expensive guitar and i can tell it’s not your skill
IMO, the best guitar is the one that speaks most to the player, not necessarily the one that costs more. If youre comfortable with the instrument, youre more likely to be relaxed and uninhibited. I have an expensive accoustic that I bought a couple of decades ago that most often collects dust in the closet. My favorite accoustic is a Martin GPC costing less than half as much. Its warm tone gets me where I need to be.
Say it louder for the kids at the back! Love this ❤️ - Sam
That expensive one is a more creamier nutty sound
Like pistacio icecream :) Cheers, Ollie
The expensive one is so much better . Even the execution is smoother cuz it's more comfortable to play some techniques can't be done well on cheap guitar.
On electric the difference can be less evident but on acoustic the gap is huge . if you add that most of the time you pay for a instrument more comfortable to play than the sound ... well .
But that doesn't mean you can't find a good instrument for your budget . Just don't go too cheap ... that cort is awful to play . I tried one and i had a cheap guitar of the same kind in the past . you just destroy your fingers.
True that well built instruments are often built in a way easier! I feel This often translates to the final tone. Thanks so much - Sam
Are u calling a Cort cheap ?
Would you mind sharing the chords they are awesome
Cheers mate, we'll be making backing tracks moving forward on newer videos! Thanks, Ollie
Should of played it more like a average guitar player of about 2-300 hours of practice of about 3 hours to 4 hours a week.
Better get working on that time machine then 😌 Cheers! - Sam
Yeah sounds pretty cheap . any way you play it
Alright now play wonderwall….
maybe cheap Cort but he still has good quality, expensive guitar Larrivee I've seen Aaron Terrapin play that guitar Larrivee has a warm and calm tone like a rainforest, I was very interested in seeing Larrivee for the first time in terms of the design and body of the guitar that fits very elegantly and luxuriously. Is there a Larrivee guitar in Indonesia?
Great question, current factories are in Vancouver and California, but I would reccomend hunting one down wherever you are if you can! Cheers - Sam
@@HickiesMusicStore it's amazing, i appreciate it i hope someday i can buy it. I hope that Larrivée guitar factory has many branches in other countries
A great player can make any guitar sound great. A great guitar can make the worst player feel great :)
Okay so I just have a skill issue then loll
for me cheap one is brighter
Thanks fr that Mateus! Do you think this is a good thing? - Sam
@@HickiesMusicStore both nice but cheaper is better for me
I hear a big difference
It’s not all about the sound as much as it is playability. I mean if you have a guitar that sounds great, like a Martin D15m, and it does sound great, but it’s a bit hard to play, then what do you really have? It be better to buy a guitar that you feel personally is really good for you not only that way it sounds, but how you can play it. If that play ability causes you to have to pay a little more to get better action, then that might be the thing you have to do. I feel if you’re on a budget Alverez offers some really great guitars for good prices and you get both good sound and action. I’d rather have a Taylor of course but the Alverez they do offer a pretty good guitar for a budget price.
Will have to check Alverez out Jayman, cheers for this! - Sam
What song is this and what chords are you playing? And I like both
Its a very quick rendition of a song from my band - ruclips.net/video/S1jNSHhwQgw/видео.html
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much Jacob, and stay awesome!
Not even a competition between the 2
skills can't be bought
Was this filmed in standard tuning?
Hi Michael, that's correct!
Dynamic mice for acoustic?
What's the name of the cheap one?
My guitar is made out of guitar
I’m using CORT Ad810 for 4 years now (the guitar he called the cheapest). And at the time I bought it, it was expensive to me…😅
Proving your point even more so, the model in this video is an AF510, it's more costly cousin! Cheers! ☺️
