Sgt. Pepper, I wasn't really looking for anyone's approval from an appearances perspective. Perhaps you missed my point but that's ok. I was however concerned of a possibility of workmanship flaw or underlying issue that could worsen over time. It was a sizable investment and getting a second opinion from a knowledgeable group seemed prudent. 👍 Regardless, I appreciate the everyone's feedback and the education on how the top is manufactured. I learned something. Thanks!

Hi All, New to the forum and have a question on a new Gibson J-45 I purchased from a local retailer. After owning the guitar for a few weeks, I noticed a lightly color seam down the center of the guitar. The seam is smooth. I'm sure it was there went I bought it, but now that I've noticed it, I can't stop seeing it and I just want to be sure it isn't problem. My research tells me this is a non-issue but thought I'd reach out to the board for a second opinion since it seems there are some very knowledgeable folks here. Thanks! Picture attached.
