What makes a cheap electric guitar great could be down to a matter of mere pocket change. Lee Anderton, big boss of UK gear retail giant Andertons, has revealed that spending an extra $5 in the making of an entry-level guitar can result in an instrument that is “twice as good.”
In a fascinating conversation with Andy Ferris on his Guitar Geek YouTube channel, Anderton was discussing the economics of budget instruments, and explained how even small investments on the cost of making budget electric guitars can make a huge difference in the end product.
