Can a $100 budget guitar fool seasoned professional guitarists into thinking it costs over $1,000? In this ultimate blindfold test, three pro players put three vastly different guitars to the test—including a setup budget guitar and a $4,000 custom instrument—without being able to see what they're holding.
We set up the action, intonation, and pickups to see if a cheap guitar can actually outplay high-end gear when bias is removed. Watch to see their raw reactions and shock during the ultimate reveal!
