I pulled the trigger and I bought a new Gibson ES335 (2021 model) which at first looked perfectly although by looking at it I found a number of things that I'm not sure if those are "part of the magic" or may be it is worth to claim a replacement/reimbursement:
What do you thing guys? should I request a replacement?
- Rough fingerboard that seems to be sanded with a thick grit. I've heard about this thing on several threads and videos and seems that it can be fixed by using 0000 steel wool or a very thin grit (attached pics of this)
- Bad painting on the neck in the upper part of the joint with the body
- Some minor things that I've noticed like small level difference between the neck and the binding
