Yes, it is made on 7th June 2023, guitar is now resting and being played in a room where relative humidity is 50% 🙂

Can you feel that under your fingernail or finger? or is it underneath the clearcoat? Mine can't be felt at all, it is all shiny and glossy and flush.

There is also a video of that same finish line I have uploaded https://streamable.com/xiukq2

Do you have any images, I am really curious ☺️

Inside all looks solid. So it can't be that outer layer cracked and inside is fine? 🙂

Is this lacquer checking or wood split / crack? thanks

Hello, I got myself nice southern jumbo, brand new, but yesterday I saw this line...could this be a crack in a side of a new guitar ? 😞 😞 When I check inside, I do not see any crack and split(when I look in a hole), only on the lacquer side outside. any experiences? tnx

I think I found and purchased a best Les Paul (Custom) I've ever tried in my life, it is ebony LP Custom 2022.. Plays perfect, sounds killer, definetly a keeper 🙂 But have you ever seen something like this, uneven binding line on Custom Shop level guitar? I find it funny, since it is built perfectly sound wise, setup is perfect, neck angle, all, but this small cosmetic flaw (s) is really strange.. If they just spent 15 more minutes it would be flawless. But hey, now I know what is my unique Les Paul Custom if I ever lose it in sea of other black LP custom 😄

Checked that, perfectly flat, just as it should be, especially over pickup underneath itd.. So, all is good in that sense 🙂

Yeah, I agree, but I mean, it is just in one corner, that one facing bridge pins, not neck..so it is not on part where strings apply pressure..Underneath is Fishman pickup.. I have same tusq replacement saddle, just wonder if it is worth the effort to sand it down and to replace it..but I think this should be fine then..

Hello guys, I have a question regarding TUSQ saddle in my Songwriter Standard.. One end of the saddle is not perfectly round, I assume from sanding it down by hand(I know tusq saddles are just tiny bit wider than they need to be, when new) so there is one small gap, that you can see in a picture.. This is my first acoustic guitar, I have been playing electrics my whole life, so if you can maybe tell me, does saddle needs to be perfect fit, or this is normal? Can this cause any damage or something to bridge longterm? thanks in advance

I sent message to Gibson warranty service and they told me if dealer confirms that this is crack indeed, it can be shipped and fixed on Gibsons expense at Gibsons european repair center in Nethrlands.. I am not sure is is smart to ship guitar from Croatia to Nethrrlands, especially during the winter see image: https://ibb.co/3dph1X0

Can you post some pics please? I wonder how does it look like. Thanks in advance @JuanCarlosVejar

I spoke to one and he said if he fills that gap(adds CA glue or whatever), that filler will harden, and than next time inlay will crack in other place due to wood expansion and contraction.

@Kwlsky So what do you suggest, just play it and leave the thing alone? 😄 Maybe crack will get bigger but I will still have inlay in fretboard hahha
