    The best guitar is the one you love to play. Quality has diminishing returns after a certain point and you’re just paying for a brand.

    I own a $3000 US Guild Jumbo, a $4000 handmade acoustic from a local luthier, and yet I still always, always come back to my baby, a maybe $150-value laminate-top Sigma DM-2 from 1982.

      Scott Poley rocking an HB is part of what convinced me to pull the trigger. I love in North America so shipping the guitar from Germany cost a pretty penny, still a wicked deal for the quality though.

    Is that a Fusion? They’re great guitars. I have a Fusion III HSH that I picked up for a song on Black Friday last year. I’ve been considering the 25th anniversary model.

    I’ve owned and played several other Suhr… homages (ahem) and my Harley Benton compares favorably to all of them, despite being a fraction of the price.

    I have over eighty guitars, and weirdly, one of the ones I pick up most often is a Harley Benton copy of a PRS Custom 24. Stock pickups and everything, and it sounds and feels great. You can get great sound and feel with guitars in any price range.
