Why I Always Come Back to Apple and Fender

As a hobbyist guitar player and recording artist, I’ve learned something the hard way — every time I try anything other than Apple or Fender, I regret it.

On paper, it always starts the same: “I can save a few bucks, and this other brand seems just as good or better.” A few weeks later, I’m knee-deep in firmware updates, driver conflicts, trips to a luthier, and that feeling you get when your creativity grinds to a halt because the gear can’t keep up.

With Apple and Fender, it’s simple — they just work. Every time. No drama, no gimmicks, no manual the size of a novel. The tone is right. The design is right. The reliability is rock solid.

Sure, the initial cost might sting a bit more up front, but the peace of mind that comes with it? Priceless. Because when I pick up a Telecaster or power up a Mac, I’m not fighting the tool — I’m creating with it. And that’s what makes the difference.

At this point, I’ve learned my lesson: the money saved is never worth the aggravation. Quality doesn’t just last longer — it feels better every single day.

That’s exactly how I run Michael Coury Tech. No shortcuts, no cheap substitutes — just reliable, high-quality solutions that make your Apple devices feel like they should: effortless, powerful, and personal. Like Apple and Fender, I believe that great tools don’t just work better — they make you better.

Because in music and in technology, the goal is the same: your tools should inspire, not interrupt.
