"Golden Era" should be changed to "50's Era"

This thread is a troll & several took the same old stinky BAIT !!
Probably.

I will concede you can usually find a good guitar out of most eras. How common they are is another question. How close they replicate the 50s guitars is another very different question.

Gibson has gone through many eras, many of them very good, but in terms of "golden era", these days might be the "golden era."
It's not fair or right to call an era that produced inferior guitars to modern Gibsons the "golden era." We should change it to the "50's" era, as what people percieve as the "golden era" ends around 1960.
So "50's era" it is. View attachment 28961

Artificial intelligence is at play in more than one way in this thread.

What difference does that make in someone else taking a blind sound test? hahaha.......don't move the goalposts man.
I explained the difference in my post #8. Obviously you didn't understood it, if you've read it. But I take that for an answer and it confirms what I thought: you don't know what you're talking about and AA00475Bassman is right.

Never touched one, never played one…never heard them compared in person but heard some random dude on YouTube and that’s all you need to know to be an expert.

You should watch a few videos on heart surgery or advanced computer design and go make some real money on your “expertise”.
