Pissing off Gibson fans with this...

Going into this fall I’m reminded of one of the most practical reasons I tend to stick with my Gibson instead of alternatives.

I get calls from time to time to do shows set in a specific time period. In Sept I’ll be on stage in a show set in the late 1950’s. It’s nice to have guitars that are as non-anachronistic as possible when I do that, and a Gibson or AVRI Fender can fit authentically into any decade from the ‘50-present. It looks better on the stage, and it helps me get into character.

I don’t like having a lot of guitars around, so its nice to stick with making sure the few I have can cover as much time periods as possible
 
Anyone own one of the higher end MIJ Tokais? I had one of the mid-range models (LS85Q I believe) about 15 years back... It really felt like a quality instrument. Only complaint was the plastic nut.

Very curious about the higher end models.

Just saying.. statements like this reek of jealousy.

Why do people feel the need to express hatred towards a guitar brand?

Something deeper is going on here other than quality of guitars I think.

Feels like a not normal thing to hate a brand name.
Not really. There are plenty of brands that deserve contempt and jealousy has nothing to do with it.
