Many guitar players, especially experienced ones, start to discount the looks of the guitar. Too often, players are fixated on the tone of a guitar. While it's important to like how an acoustic guitar sounds, it's also important to love what you look at.
When you include looks into your evaluation of a guitar, you're adding a whole other level of consideration. While it might not impact what your playing sounds like, looks actually have a HUGE impact on how you practice. That's why this episode is dedicated to the looks of a guitar!
In addition to talking about aesthetics, I'll also give you a tour of my studio, answer a few questions, and tell you about the first time looks changed the way I looked for guitars.
