I'm about to buy a used Gibson Les Paul Traditional 2015, I cannot see the guitar because the seller lives somewhere else. He sent me pics and I noticed the screws on the bridge pickups plastic covers (not the pole screws) are too tight, like crushing the plastic. You can see their depth due to the dirt around it (bottom left screw on the plastic cover)
Is that a sign that the guitar as been modified? Pickups replaced? Or does that happen out of normal use? He assured me he didn't change anything but seeing this I am not so sure.
