Equally, a Ferrari shod with remould tyres (nee crappy amp) isn't going to give you the full experience!
@Neil it's a fair point you raise. I know it's intangible but I expected to be slightly more blown away - it just didn't feel like anything special. If I was to spend that much on anything (guitar stuff, watches - that kind of scale) then I would expect it to feel like an event, so to speak.
I find to get the most out of expensive booze it pays to taste them alongside a cheaper version. I guarantee you will notice the difference and pick out more flavours if you do this.
the same should probably apply to guitar shopping. If you want the £5k Gibson its probably worth playing a few cheaper and some alternative versions to make sure it is actually what you want. Unless your are loaded and/or have the disposal income. Perfectly fine to just buy one because you want to

I'm sure there are some good ones, and if you've got one - no disrespect, but on the day I got my 1972 Custom (for a lot less money), the ones I tried did not even come close to what I was looking for.
Whether you get an accurate sound through 30 watts in a room not much bigger than an Iso chamber is a different matter...

I tried them through a hand wired Victoria tweed combo.
I know it’s ‘cool’ to suggest expensive stuff is a rip off - but my experience is that it is usually better than lower-priced alternatives. It won’t be true of every individual instrument - but generally, it is....
<£500 the lot
and I have a lot of exotica
its funny some guitars just grab you
I've since learned that a more expensive version of the guitar you have, does not necessarily mean 'better'.
