So I can’t be the only one who has noticed this and I have seen several threads on the topic but seriously, wtf. My original one fit a little better but came with a nice crack at the tip where it attached to the body. So Gibson sent me out this one. Now mind you I get they don’t fit like gloves, and that there is shrinkage, except mine is a NOS gloss model. That neck gap is insane. I’m not trying to nit pick but hot damn…. Anyways, already sent off another email… not asking for much except maybe a guard on a 5k guitar not look like it was very last minute and shaped by a 3yr old.
