I just received my Epi JB Gold Top today from GC's warehouse. Factory box was unopened. I got all the included extra's and the COA from Joe B. After spending a few minutes looking it over, I found 1 small scuff in the black paint on the backside. Very minor, but definently scuffed before loading into case. Im not gonna return for that. Its a player for sure and is in a spot likely to get scratched by me anyway....so I'll just look at it as a Tone Scuff.
