An accomplished musician with a "cheap" instrument will hold your attention over a poser with an expensive one.

@noromance : My mistake! Yes, acoustic guitars all sound different. Just like violins, violas, cellos ... Since sound quality is so subjective one may prefer the cheap guitar over the expensive one! 

Sound is universal human perception affecting us on parts or locations of our emotional and physical body consistent through all cultures...

This is a demonstrated recent acoustics science fact...

 

What rules acoustics is "timbre" perception as a concrete physical set of invariants reflecting the vibrating sound sources qualities , not abstract Pythagoreans mathemahical ratios... Sound is not an abstract vibrating waves in the air... It comes from a vibrating sound sources endowed with specific qualities we can be trained to perceive.... The most simple one : tap a fruit and you will learn if it is ripe and ready or not ...

Then sound quality is not "subjective " as in delusional... It is "subjective" as in objectively statistically observed physical sound source vibrating invariant qualities perceived by all cultures in the same way ...

 

A musician well trained will distinguish in a relative objective way the differences between different guitar design quality...😊

 

jasonbourne71 Do you not think the video clearly illustrates the differences? Subjectivity aside, my thought after watching the entire video reminded me of how the more finely crafted the audio component, the better it sounded.
