I thought 'golden age' Ibby's were 70s models?
When you're around something for years or decades and you use that 'thing' all the time in your daily life and that thing is something that you love - then you can become a cork sniffer. I think it's natural. I'm definitely a cork sniffer with all my gear (amps especially) but 1) I've given up trying to convince another guitarist about a piece of gear and 2) I can and many times have to work with less than stellar (IMO) gear. So my cork sniffing is more of a personal ideal. Yeah, I like (and know) a good bottle of cabernet but I'm fine with a $3.00 Trader Joes red if that's what I'm dealing with. I'd prefer my lovepedal Eternity or my Landgraff Mo'D but a stock TS9 will do the job just fine, nobody really cares (or hears) and I've totally made peace with all that.

I looked at your post Todd. It was interesting. The $699 in £ at that time was around £431 I bought my Fender US STD Telecaster that year for £550. Looking at https://support.fender.com/hc/en-us/article..._November_1.pdf It and the US STD Strat were on a par with the RG series guitars money wise.

Here's some cork sniffery for you ...
Fender has amps that 'say' deluxe, princeton, bassman, etc. on the front. "Please, have you ever seen the inside or actually played any of those from the 50s or 60s"? Same for Vox, Orange and Marshall. I'm not saying the amps don't sound decent to good but they ain't anything like the real deal (maybe their hand wired, nos parts, $3500.00 versions - ?). -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

I too would agree that you've never come off as the Ibanez snob at all.
You know a lot about those guitars, you've owned a ton of them and you're a fan, so naturally you have an opinion. An 'informed' opinion. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Never sniff a brown cork.
