Personally, never seen grooves cut in on a new guitar. Now....I do know this. A GC did sell me a "new" guitar. Come to find out, it could not have been "new" as it had upgraded bridge pins as my luthier pointed out. Most likely it was a returned guitar and sold as new. Not saying this is what happened with your situation but something to think about.

Whew, so glad to be back! Talking from Western Carolina. Been a few years since my last posts. Finally have my two favorite Gibsons......New J45 standard and L2. Sound is spectacular on both as is quality. Hell yea!!!
