Members jtr654 Posted September 9, 2019 Members Share Posted September 9, 2019 Wood, electronics, frets nicely done, hardware. What are you calling Cheap. It's not like the 60's where the cheap guitars were barely playable. Now there is maybe a 20% difference in them at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gretsch Professional product line is a mix. Black Falcons are finished in urethane and the 6120's are finished in a mix of both Nitro and urethane.

They're primarily known for acoustics but they've used catalyzed poly for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AJ6stringsting Posted September 12, 2019 Members Share Posted September 12, 2019 We're living in an age of great inexpensive guitars. You can order necks and bodies from GFS, Dragon Fire guitars or Warmoth and create a guitar that's made better than the big brand companies. Plus, Epiphone, Squire make guitars that are equal and when modified can surpass the big parent companies standards. Gotta love the Golden Age of great inexpensive guitars !!!! Back in the late 1970's, inexpensive guitars had very cheap tuners with plastic inserts in the headstocks, cheap plastic nuts and non wax potted pick ups .... How we've come a long way !!!!

Members SteinbergerHack Posted September 12, 2019 Members Share Posted September 12, 2019 Solid wood vs. laminate, which changes resonance. Quality and type of wood - plain basswood vs. mahogany vs. maple, rosewood, rosewood, ebony, etc. Quality of components (pots, caps, pickups, bridge saddles, etc.) Fingerboard material Assembly details - fit and finish, binding, inlays, etc. Sound quality (subjective, but there IS a difference). Setup details - neck stress, fret accuracy, bridge placement, etc. Resale value, bragging rights, ego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
