I actually think it's fairer to say "Guitars are guitars," because they are organic creations and often made from different trees and stored/played in differing environments so of course there will be variations within a brand but let's not forget that tone is subjective. You might have thought the guitar you played sounded like an absolute dog whereas it might be someone else's dream instrument. I have heard many guitars that to my ear sound awful but in all honesty only one or two that were so truly bad that they were only fit for fire wood. Most of the time the tone is a case of being one we like or one we don't and is purely subjective.
