Brands

There are certain names that stand out in fields for excellence.  Apple, Dell, Gibson les paul, and Nike are the ones that come to my mind.  I don't know that it is always better to pay more for those brands but it certainly feels like it is most of the time.

If I was out to buy a guitar it would be very hard to talk me out of buying a gibson, and the same thing with the other brands.  There are just certain things that provide a sense of security in that you are spending your money on the most high quality product possible.

I'm not saying all those brands are perfect or that all people would agree but those are the ones that I feel comfortable with.
