[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Martin is an accoustic, the Seagull is an electric, so technically he is correct that those guitars are used for different styles of music. But too bad. It's not relevant for a 17 year old -- whose not paying for it.[/quote]

And you’re not paying for it either, so why the attitude?

His guitar isn’t that great. If he’s a devoted musician and his parents can afford a great instrument, why shouldn’t he have it? [/quote]

You have an attitude.  Different guitars meet different needs but he could go with a new $500-2K and not 4K or get a job and contribute.  He could teach guitar online.[/quote]

I assume you don’t play an instrument. No $500 guitar will sound good. A cheap guitar is a cheap guitar. Instruments get better as they get more expensive. It’s the reality.

I’ve played instruments since I was 5 and my dad has played them his entire life. My sister went to Juilliard. I know what I’m talking about. He can’t just “go with” a cheaper guitar if he wants good quality. [/quote]

I have a music kid who has a very nice instrument but if he wants a $4k instrument after a $2k he can pay for it.   Someone who plays well can make a cheaper instrument sound good.   My kid has about $2k in music gear that is midline.  That is good enough. [/quote]
