I couldn't see the picture but I know exactly what you are talking about. I have a Les Paul Custom with the same issue. I'm not sure what year it is, maybe 2005- 2009? Anywho, why would they continue to use a resin or paint or whatever they use, to color those trims when they know it isn't good? I don't appreciate some of the responses like, "it is what it is, deal with it, thats the way they" are type of mentality. It's an awesome guitar! I love the way it plays but I would prefer the guitar to keep well and age gracely. Why don't they deal with the problem at hand? Because people will keep shuffling out $3,500.00 plus for it the way it is..... Mines for sale if anyone is interested? I have the prestine case and guitar is excellent and the original docs that came with the guitar new.
