Just because a price is inflated to match the competition doesn't make it "premium." I'd argue that the nexus 6p is very much a premium device.

I think google has lost touch with its customers and one of the reasons it's current users went to the nexus brand. The nexus brand was priced signifcantly lower than the iPhones and other phones making it even more popular and for some a no brainer choice when it comes to buying a phone.
The new pixel line is the exact same price as the new iPhone 7... while looking "similar" to the iPhone as well. I see nothing that attracts me to paying almost a grand for a google phone now. I certainly won't be paying that much for an iPhone either. I will be purchasing a more reasonably priced phone obviously based on how my post started.
The phone itself looks great and I would love to own one, but it doesn't look like its worth what they are asking for it. I was really hoping the price was going to be more attractive and was planning on purchasing one due to how the 5x and 6p were priced when they launched. Google really got greedy here.

I currently own a Epiphone Les Paul custom that Ive had for 12 years give or take. Previously I have owned a few other epiphone les pauls, fender strats and various ibanez axes that were decent.

In my opinion its all in the feel, for me particularly the feel is in the neck. Ive always wanted to try a PRS guitar but I am a believer that you get what you pay for. And Id hate to waste the money on the cheapest model. Im sure you wont get a terrible guitar for 400, particularly if you buy a upscale used guitar, but buying a new 400 guitar I would not expect top notch.

I am also not a fan of all the new "signature" guitars that are coming out just to make more money from a set of pickups put into a base model. seems silly.

in the end; my advice.. buy what feels right, everyones opinion will be different because its all subjective what feels good to them
