Hey,
I just bought a brand spanking new Gibson SG Standard. I absolutely love the thing. It is a 2007 and I mean BRRRRAAAND new. I checked it out for a good while, got it home and really inspected it. I bought a DC LP earlier this year and it had some very ugly markings and just poor craftsmanship so I was not about to buy another poor quality Gibson. Anyways, someone on this board had a message aboutt how they think some of the Gibson orders were being rushed to GC's. Rushed so much that the paint was not getting enough time to dry properly as well as the wood. Well, my finish seems really soft! It also smells. I dont know what that paint smells like but it just seems like its really ripe? I think the paint is dry... I just got to wondering a little bit. My dad also noticed it. I mean the thing is lovely but say the wood did not have the right amount of time to season what are some problems I might expect? Maybe my Gibson GAS should have been released in a different way? haha
Thanks for any info,
Patrick
