Depends on the guitar. The quality of the neck, hardware and pups tends to be where the costs are cut as well as whether the body is a laminate with a plywood middle. It also depends on how upgradeable an axe is. Throwing on 100 buck pups that will only pull up the tone 20 % or so is not worth it. On other guitars, it can make a huge difference. IE. The Agile LPs can be upgraded to get very close to an LP Gibson tone. Just my 2 cents worth.
