just for the record: a short list of professional musicians who use sub $500 guitars:

Jack White: That plastic airline is almost comical but it sounds awesome

Tom Morello: all his Fenders are of mexican origin

Stevie Ray Vaughan: played a gig once with a Strat in 1986...a SQUIER strat

sorry to beat a dead horse but i just wanted to put that list up cos i found it interesting.
