Don’t get too hung up on the assumption that all CBS-era Fenders are junk. It just isn’t true. Same with the assumption that all Norlin-era Gibsons are junk. That’s Internet forum cork sniffery.
Did those two companies make some significant changes, both to production and corporate culture? Yes. Have those changes resulted in lower valuations on the vintage market? Absolutely.
But the final products of CBS-era Fender and Norlin-era Gibson can still be really good guitars. I see them as a chance to get into the great world of the vintage guitar market with both of my kidneys still inside my body.
