To say a better instrument makes for a more talented player is like saying a writer's talent increases when he goes from a Quill Pen to modern word processing technology and software..

J.K Rowling wrote the first Harry Potter book on cafe napkins or whatever scrap of paper was available at the time..She had(and has) more inate talent than all the writers of the world who were trying to write great novels in wood paneled dens with a fireplace etc etc....If you suck with a First Act you will suck with a Fender....

I dont think anybody said the musicians talent didnt matter, and nobody said a better instrument makes a better musician, to say this is to look for an argument.

A great guitarist will have gone through many guitars to become great, and chances are they didnt downgrade as they went along.

your analagy doesnt hold water, a race car driver is still going to lose a race if he drives a volkswagon at the indy 500. regardless of how skilled he is he needs a car that goes 200 mph.

The Op didnt ask for qualifiers, he asked if the cheap guitar was as good as the expensive one, he didnt say "if im a great guitarist will a cheap guitar do me?"

Good try to start an argument though, I play guitar do you?

Why dont you express your joy at the election vote again, it was funny seeing your thread disappear
