I’m in the middle of a similar situation . Just got a mew 2019 61 SG. Out of the box from musicians friend I found many issues.
scratch plate not trimmed correctly.
Paint left on the binding(very common with Gibson)
Fingerboard binding and finger board gouged from a flip of a file slip.
The bridge is bottomed out, action is still higher than I’d expect.
G string won’t intonate correctly. If I flipped the saddle it would probable lock in.
I have a replacement guitar coming but I have a feeling it’s going to be dump luck if it’s issue free.
I would love to spend a day with Gibsons quality control. They need help. Do they have a ‘it’s good enough attitude’?
I’ve purchased several dozen guitars over the years. This is my first Gibson.
