I'll believe you have the skills when you prove it with a recording. 'Till then I call bullshit! I know a bunch of people that have been playing for as long as you and still can't tell the difference. I've been doing guitar repair since my twenties, and I'm in my sixties. But more importantly, I make my full living as a guitarist both live and in the studio, so someone is burying their head in the sand but it ain't me! If you want to keep slagging on Gibsons just move it over to a forum where people will listen to your idiocy. I'm sure you can find a bunch or troels like yourself on Harmony Central.That's the point!!! You don't get the fact that I DO have the skills, the ear, and the experience to know the 'differences'......and my point is that the foreign instruments are getting better and the Gibson products are going the other way. You want to ignore the facts, fine! I've been doing this for over 50 years, and closer to 60. Just about every manufacturer out there will purchase an example of it's competition's products in order to determine some kind of comparative basis for what they're making. I don't own Gibson, but I have every right to buy what I want, and if I see some 'cheap' guitar that captures my interest, I have every right to buy it.
So, go a head, bury your head in the sand, wave the flag with your feet, and DON'T heed the words of caution. I'll bet your drive a Toyota!
I'm out!!!
