I know what you mean about seeing people who are shit playing amazing equipment... it's seems unfair, but anyone else would do the same. An analogy i could relate this to is Chelsea FC, effectively buying their success with billions of pounds. But what are they gonna do, not spend it? they've got shitlodas of money so they might as well - but I hate them anyway. Some are just lucky I guess. I remember ripping it up* in a guitar shop on a 450 dimebag Washburn guitar (which I actually bought) whilst some guys was embarassing himself on a 2.5k PRS... but again, if he's got the money and wants a guitar what's he gonna do...buy a shitty Jim Deacon les paul copy? I'd imagine there was a kid somewhere trying out a 250 guitar that could play a mile better than I could. If i had the money I'd have the BEST equipment, even though there are others who are more deserving. * For the record I am 99% of the time the worst guitar shop player in existance, this was a one off!
