its mostly just a matter of preference and opinion.

different wood types have different densities and therefore different measures of resonance.

body shape and size are also both considered when buying a guitar.

the strings come in different sizes which gives off different tones.

the pickups in an electric can be higher or lower wattage and can be replaced for a more preferred sound.

of course the top tier guitars are generally better quality instruments, but that doesnt mean the lower end guitars are not worth playing. 

guitar amplifiers aslo greatly vary in size, shape, wattage, configuration, etc.

you really have to just sit down and try a few out to know whats comfortable for you (the player)

also, most people i know who play guitar usually begin by imitating their favorite band or artist. many people will buy a Fender Stratocaster because it is the preferred guitar of many great players. or they might instinctively go for a B.C. Rich because they exclusively listen to heavy metal and want to emulate that sound.

there certainly are scientific factors but it really comes down to opinions on what you like and/or dont like.

Edit: real answer, yes there is difference in sound between all the guitars. For example: the back of the 12 string ovation I posted is made of completely different material than all the other guitars posted which makes it sound completely different. Also, different types and sizes of strings will produce various sounds.:thumbup:

Double edit: you can also get super funky with accessories like  a slide and the jellyfish pick :trippinbawelz:





yes and not to mention the abundance of effects pedals. you will rarely find a professional guitarist playing without at least one.

I'm pretty sure the luthier did not make the right cut angle on my nut an that's why my guitar keeps falling out of tune.

In order to fix it I have to file the ebony nut. Not much but I have to make be the cut angle a little sharper.

Try some graphite filings or some graphite lubricant. For string contact points, I use Stew Macs graphite paste mixed with a couple drops of some metal lubricant. Keeps the nut and saddles slick.

If the nut was cut wrong, and you have tuning problems, then the nut slots were probably cut too deep. Youll either have to replace the nut or fill and then re-cut the slots.

thats the lame thing, its an ebony nut. i need to see if i can cut it and if not fill it then re cut. He was most likly conservative with it because it is ebony aftert all. fingers crossed.

Ebony, as in wood? Is it a classical guitar? Usually dont see wood nuts on anything other than classical. You can use some ebony dust and super glue to fill the slots if you need to, and then re-cut. Usually when you get tuning problems from the nut, its because the slots are too deep and narrow, so they get pinched in there when bending or whatever and get thrown out of tune.
