So, I'm not a spring chicken. I've played lots of guitars over the 40 years or so I've been playing. I've found that you really can't generalize, as I used to work at a music store a long time ago and found that even "back then", you could play five guitars of the same model and sometimes only one really would speak to you. As automation came about quality has made guitar models more consistent...but none compare to a great luthier having a great few weeks and poring his passion into the work. That said, I'm looking for unbiased, experienced views on the "New" USA 2014 Gibson Standards (don't really want a custom shop nor a hand-made knock-off, not that I can't afford it)...
