welcome back folks My name is Shane In today's
video we're going to talk about inexpensive
guitars Whether that's from Artist Guitars
Harley Benton or any other number of brands
out there doesn't really matter The quality
of less expensive stuff has gone up so much
over the last few years I'm going to talk
about why and why it really almost doesn't
matter what you buy anymore it's going to be
good So since the dawn of the internet and
YouTube and people reviewing stuff and websites
and all that kind of stuff it's really hard for
a company to release a piece of junk and
not get flamed and burned for it online
in some capacity We've seen this with tech
products that don't live up to expectations
And there's used to be plenty of cheap junk
guitars back in the day but that's not really
the case anymore You know when I first started
playing as a lefty the only lefty I could find
was a left-handed Red Squire and it was a great
guitar - one of those Gold Series ones And I
love that guitar but that was the only choice
I had Now there's so many guitars from so many
brands in of course left and right-handed Now if
you're a righty there's even more to choose from
which is crazy But as a lefty now I can find
a guitar that's inexpensive like this that's
still really good and still get it to sound
just as good as any of my other guitars The
law of diminishing returns has never been
more true than it is as of 2025 I think you
can pretty much pick up any guitar off the shelf
And if you can play you can make it sound good
One of the big concerns a lot of people
had with less expensive guitars back in the day
and it was a valid concern was that they're
just not built as well or they don't play as
well as the more expensive counterparts I don't
think this is true anymore So many of these less
expensive guitars now are using stainless
steel frets They've got roasted maple necks
They got quality pickups And for all intents and
purposes if using either a cheap guitar with good
specs versus an expensive guitar with good specs
you're not going to hear a huge difference in the
room as someone just listening to a band You know
it's just not the case anymore It used to be the
case but it's not as big of a difference anymore
The end result is still going to be the same The
reason I picked up this cheap guitar is it's on
loan currently from Artist Guitars and it's great
It feels and plays every bit as good as any of
my other Telecasters Or I would grab one of those
Telecasters And this wasn't the case many years
ago They've gotten much better with everything
from the fret edges locking tuners It's nice and
light It's actually lighter than any Telecaster
I've ever owned And it's a beautiful looking
guitar And this is something that wasn't the
case 10 15 years ago So it's good to see brands
like this you know Harley Benton and whoever else
making guitars at a more affordable price point
but with better specs Now there's something to
be said about owning a guitar of your dreams
or you know having something like that But I
think the takeaway here is that these higher-end
guitars whether that's Gibson Fender or whatever
don't necessarily make you a better player Sure
they can be inspiring but it's not going to make
you sound better than you know the next person
who's a better player playing a less expensive
guitar It's just not the case right And you know
there's something to be said about the feel and
being inspired and having something you've
always aspired to get I totally get that But
what I'm saying in this video is there's so
many great options now that if you can play
guitar doesn't matter your budget you can make
it sing Whether you're playing a Squire Affinity
or you're playing this or a Harley Benton or an
guitar there's so many more options available
now that are so much better than they were And
they have to be The reason Fender don't do you
know stainless steel frets is because people
will still buy their guitars anyway and it's
cheaper for them to do that than to put them
on It sucks but it is what it is right Whereas
these other brands that people don't know of
they have to apply a little bit more finesse
to the end result to get people interested
And then the price is also far less expensive
There's always going to be a compromise with some
guitars having dodgy switches or maybe the pots
don't roll as nicely or whatever But at the end of
the day if you can play and you can dial in a good
sound it doesn't matter
