Fair enough. Is current Gibson worse than Norlin Gibson?

Yeah, the PCB are wave-soldered (I watched it in action in '07 when we got a great tour of the joint  ), but everything else is very much hand-wired.

Everything else is not very much of anything. It's the same process Mesa has been using since long before Gibson bought them. They didn't start using "hand-wired" until after Gibson though. It's strictly a money grab aimed at those who know buzz words but don't understand them.
That being said, these are priced a little high, but not ridiculous. The Falcon 20 is similar to a 12" Princeton combo that is assembled in the US and has power scaling. Are those last two things worth $300 over the Fender? Some people will say yes.
