Whenever I see the phrase "an awful lot of..." I find it's almost always reversable.

"you see an awful lot of $300 guitars"

but also:

"you see a lot of awful $300 guitars"

I'm with you. I really only buy cheap instruments. I do know that once you get into the pro-sumer range they can get really costly.

I just feel like that line from the CEO comes off as really classist and shitty, even if he is trying to signal that he wants to get those higher end customers in the door.

Oh yeah, for sure. I figure anyone with the CEO job title forgets or has never experienced being a broke ass.
