There's no right or wrong here. It's more a matter of what guitar buyers usually expect.
In the mid-90s, when Schecter was US-only, they made a very nice series with unfilled stained ash bodies in addition to their more expensive lines. They were really great looking and feeling yet they didn't sell. Now maybe if they had been in the 500-700 range the line would have been a success, but they were in the lower teens.
