I am guitar player and i choose good quality of guitar before playing.. why? because low class guitar don't sound good only 40/60% sounds perfect you are lucky if you found a cheap guitar with good sound. mid class guitar on the other hand is better...

I play my mid-class strat and using the right strings and the right amp settings you can do wonders

Wow! I'm really impressed with the guitar tone especially, on your soundcloud track. I agree, super expensive gear is not a must to express yourself musically. If you look at a group like The White Stripes, I believe I read somewhere that their first album was made with a very low budget. Now they're pretty much a part of rock history forever.
