50- Who Cheap Guitars Are For

<p><strong>I remember when I first learned guitar and I couldn’t afford a Fender Stratocaster. I wanted to look and sound like Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, Van Halen, Jimi&nbsp; Hendrix… Eventually I ended up with a Fender Strat but it didn’t look or sound like the ones my heroes played. So I started modding.</strong></p> <p><strong>Of course, there is way more to sounding like these icons than parts and materials but that didn’t matter to me. As time went on I wanted to look and sound like other artists but didn’t have the money to buy all the expensive gear... And therefore I entered into a phase of my life where I started buying cheap guitars…</strong></p> <p><strong>But who are cheap guitars for? What classifies a guitar as cheap? Are there any good ones out there? How do you know it’s time to upgrade? Are they worth modding?&nbsp; And what are the usual flaws?</strong></p> <p><strong>Well we will discuss this, and more on this group therapy session with Barber, on the Tweed couch.</strong></p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/tweedcouch/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/tweedcouch/support</a>
