Woah be the guitar manufacturer who had a twenty or so year bad patch. Takes a long time to overcome. But even Norlin cranked out a gem now and then. I view my 65 Texan as the twilight of a golden time for Gibson, 60 to 65 still producing, if not legendary, very good guitars. Even the earlier years are inconsistent, just inconsistently great.
I can't say I've played a bad Boseman built guitar. But they have captured the glory years to about the same extent as Martin has with Authentics. Like Martin, they profit from the name, much like a lot of brands. I filter out much of the product coming from both companies, but they need it. Not a fan of cheaper US built product just for the sake of it. Hit or miss, but I'm not in that market.
As always, play, like, and buy.
