Then I compare the upgraded $80 guitar to a $2,500 handmade Spanish classical guitar to find out if it’s worth the effort. We’ll look at projection, resonance, tone quality, sustain, and overall playability — and answer the big question: is it smarter to upgrade a cheap guitar or just invest in a better one from the start? If you’re interested in classical guitar, guitar tone, DIY guitar upgrades, or buying a budget guitar, this experiment might surprise you.
