I agree with you guys on "getting a better guitar makes you play more".
But a quick story - I had a Sears electric guitar as a teenager - total crap - and a friend of mine, who at 17 was a great guitarist, came over my house. He picked it up, tuned it, and played some of "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes". I will always remember that!

A few months ago in Acoustic Guitar magazine there was a article about how to play that song. The article seemed to imply that the song is easy to play because it's in an open tuning and you can play it by barring frets up and down the fret board. According to Wiki, the song features an acoustic guitar tuned to EEEEBE ("Bruce Palmer Modal Tuning") vs. the standard EADGBE tuning.
