I'm cool with grain and natural imperfections in the wood. I just wanted to check that they weren't paint or nitro imperfections. The lower part around the tone pots particularly bothered me because one of the lines looks like scoring through the paint/lacquer or cracking.
I can see how you would be concerned, I guess it could appear as a mar to some folks. Like the rest of the responses, all I see is a nice looking guitar with some nice wood grain. I wouldn't call it a natural imperfection either, that just how the tree grows. Check out mine below, you can see the same type of grain patterns.

I think your fretting (no pun intended) over the wood grain. To me, that's what makes wood like this amazing, how nature spins these cool shapes and patterns. The 50s Standard comes with a AA maple top which is not as fancy as the reissues and such. I just purchased the same guitar and I love it and I'm sure you will too.

That is the wood grain, I find it to look pretty nice myself. Congrats on the new guitar, that is a very nice top.

It would still be MUCH better than what's being offered as "fresh" today.

I always thought that was a guy singing that song. Well its very please to see it was sung by a HOT brunette makes the song that much better. I wonder what she looks like now, I'm afraid to Google it.

My bad @Big Bill I’m not a huge AC/DC fan - don’t really care for them too much but at the same time have no ill will against them. Either way I’m embarrassed. I don’t deserve to say anymore though...
Oh stop! I'll jump on your Lars soap box anytime you care to bring it up. That guy needs to count his blessings...
My thoughts have been a musician should be humble... Hell, I'm grateful that anybody would listen to me play not alone pay for it. This slob takes it a step further... "oh I'm a great drummer, hear me play, pay me... pay me now!! " f**k the art of music it's about the money... Barf!

God this guy is a DB. Sorry Metallica fans, but I stand by my statement. Oh, and he sucks at drums, haha! Just messing, but no, I don't like his style or listen to him talk.
Lars Ulrich is a ******bag, I know it, you know it, and he knows it. The only thing he doesn't agree with me and you on is that he's a terrible drummer! Man what an ego that guy has!!
Oh Chris, that's Angus playing the 335. Kind looks like Lars in that pic...

Those are some nice straps. I would like to get some more, but I have so many right now...

I used Schaller S Locks on my strap for the Les Paul, fit like a charm.
Which straps did you get?

When I was a young man in the Air Force, I was considered a "one hit wonder." I would hit it once, and leave them wondering.

I watched eBay for many years to find an original, they are rarer than Hen's Teeth!
I just happen to have a set of hen's teeth for sale at this moment!

Chris, ignore the politics and play guitars. I'm sure PRS, Fender and rct do this all time, they're just better at keeping it under the radar. I wonder if they can file a lawsuit again that knot head for posting that. Better yet, a law suit against the guy that hired him. Or maybe a suit against....

Yup, was thinking this exactly... Well, this is why I buy PRS guitars - wouldn't find this going on with one of them! 😄 Hey it happens I guess. Not the end of the world, but hopefully the replacement is a great SG. Good thing BBP found this out now...
Curious, lets say he found this 3 years from now, would the life time warranty cover this? It is a physical defect.

All kidding aside, you made some valid points I cannot argue with. I'm a firm believer you should get what you pay for.

Would the Beatles still be the Beatles
in The Gibson Lounge

I'm still surprised on how many kids I come across digging the Beatles. I don't there will ever be a Beatlemania, but I think there would be more of an impact that would think.
