Мне всегда очень нравился ответ Марти Фридмана на вопрос одного из его поклонников, типа, а почему вы играете на Ibanez SZ, а не на гитарах за много тысяч долларов?.
Ответ Фридмана: With all due modesty, I could play a $25 guitar and make it sing. I think people who waste a lot of money on guitars with fancy woods and inlays and 100 switches on them are wasting their money. I've got a bunch of them too and you know what, all you really need is a good solid instrument that will take a beating and stay in tune. That's all. My SZ just made it thru 10 days of brutal gigs doing my solo music without a single problem. I would suggest reevaluating what you look for in a guitar, you may be pleasantly surprised!
