But I don't even have the money for that stuff. Other than the PRS, my only electric guitars were a Fender Squier and a Jay Turser. I've had no problems with either of these, other than the high-e string sometimes getting caught under the fret on the Squier (probably needed to be sanded down or something).

George Lynch's main guitar is one he paid $20 for the body of it.
Geddy Lee's #1 bass is a Fender Jazz he got at a pawn shop for $200.
Dave Shramm (yo la tengo) studio and gig stick is a $300 Japanese Tele.
So yah. Tone is in the fingers and there are many overpriced guitars a budget model can get close to with a $14.00 set of Sprague Orange Drop tone capacitors. That fix will get a 3 figure Les Paul Studio much closer to the $5000 reissue of the model.
