Very true. I once had a cheap, battered old Yamaha acoustic. I just regarded it as junk really. Then one day I took it into a studio ... added bass, drums, bit of double-tracking and reverb - brilliant. I bought a Martin after that, and it didn't sound any better.
You see people assume that tone is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly, timey wimey ... stuff.
