I spent a long time walking where you are walking, my friend.

Not only playing and recording the guitars and trying to master the doggone things in multiple genres and styles, but also modifying, rebuilding, building, experimenting with pups both rewound and made from scratch, modifying amplifiers, which turned into designing amps from scratch, using electronic test equipments to find out what the empirical differences in frequency response, gain staging, speakers (yes, the speaker of the guitar amp is a much needed part of the whole system, which is why plugging the guitar in Direct to record is often not going to be able to shine as well - unless proper use of a speaker cabinet simulator is employed), what long strange trip its been.

So-called "Golden Ears" aren't a gift. At least not in my experience. They come from the day in and day out work in the craft, until every once in a while the experience that builds contempt kind of gels somewhere in the little gray cells.

Keep on keepin' on, I loves me some beboppin' guitar. It is good to see and hear someone else around here who does.
