  1. Lol right, I might end up leaving it just because it is a little more extreme than some of the examples I've seen but I probably won't be buying another brand new Gibson guitar
  2. This is kind of an odd post but I'm not really sure what to do. in November 2019 I bought a new left-handed Gibson Explorer. I have immensely enjoyed the guitar over the last 2 years, and I've played it more than any other guitar I own. I had to buy the guitar sight unseen as a lefty because left-handed guitars are harder to come across, and models like the explorer even less so. However, recently I noticed that the input jack plate was drilled and installed off center. I've attached a picture so you can see what I mean. I realize it’s kind of ridiculous to notice a 'flaw' like that over 2 years into owning the guitar, but how often do you look at an input jack? Now don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore every other aspect of this guitar. Other than this one tiny little flaw, it’s the best guitar I've ever owned. But it really bugs me, I mean it looks cheap, and I bought this thing brand new. Does anybody know how I might go about fixing this? I've thought about seeing if someone local could fix it, as I'm sure all you would have to do is fill the old holes and re-drill. I would do it myself but I don't have any mahogany laying around and honestly, I don't trust myself to work on something I basically view as irreplaceable, as I don't have much experience working on guitars outside of changing pickups. And that brings me to my next idea; do you think Gibson might fix it? I did register it with them although I'm not sure if I registered it in time, and I'm afraid if they did take it, they might try to exchange it which I definitely don't want. Obviously the third option is just to forget about it, but I've already tried that and it's not happening.
