Wherever you are on your guitar journey, I hope it’s a good ride for you.
Rock on with your bad selves.
I’ll catch you down the road.

Eddie Van Halen was a tinkerer like Leo Fender, but you also forgot the legendary LES PAUL! He modified and experimented with electronics and guitars too.

I got so lucky with my first 2 classic era '78 and '83 Ibanez Guitars. They needed nothing for setup. They were beautiful right out of the box, and both were bought new. My Ibanez GB10NT George Benson archtop and Artist AM205AV semi, both bought used, needed a little bit of setup tweaking, but nothing very dramatic.

I have more pride, joy, and satisfaction in playing budget guitars.... and making them feel and sound like more expensive guitars ....which are expected to perform don't necessarily do....Put a Squier in Hank Marvin's hand, and he will still sound like Hank Marvin.

I got 4 guitars over 1500, and 4 under 300. Sorry to say the cheap ones just don't get the love the good ones do.

Obviously it depends you can be lucky and I don't believe you should pay silly money for a name guitar but kind of midrange price range can avoid total shyte although since cnc budget guitars have improved greatly.

That statement made that professional artists don't use budget guitars is absolute rubbish. They absolutely DO USE budget guitars to tour and record in studio. One Blues artist's No. 1 is a Squier Affinity Telecasters and it is completely STOCK. Whenever a dummy tells you that nonsense, you might to mention to them that the magic is in their hands and not in the badge or model. Harrumph.
