  1. I have little experience ( very little ) with Gibson and  Im not sure what wavy means but I've had/have Martins from the 40's through the ,mid 90's 

    and from time to time  from the application of the finish ( maybe they applied the finish heavier ons some ) I dont know  but as you would look down the soundboard

    some had that wavy look to the finish and that wasn't a construction issues it is just the way the finish is applied,  w/o seeing what you are talking about

    I cant image what you are talking,  I do hope whatever your concerns are that you get some resolution!

  2. I remember the first hit my first guitar took like it was yesterday,  its still one of my go to guitars 30 years later.

     Ive seen people on you tube  steam those dings out, I never did, but i guess it can be done.

  3. I think OP's guitar has a wonderful sound and I missed the part about the pickup but if its a mini IMO they are top of heap for several reasons! 

     

    And as always the guitars/videos Tom shares is wonderful, he has one guitar that he seldom plays that is ( Again IMO ) the best sounding small bodied guitar 

    I ever heard.  Thanks Tom

  4. If its new wouldn't it be under warranty?

    You have one string buzzing Truss rods dont adjust one string, and I assume the other string are fine?

    There could be several different things going on ,  pics would be helpful. 

    Does it buzz without depressing the string or do you need to press the string to get a buzz?

    If not at what fret does it start?  Thats a starting point to understand what's going on. 

    Again pics are always helpful along with some measurements. Their are number for a proper

    setup but feel is important but you need to know the basics!

    Good luck and from what Ive seen here there are people that can help you. I know very 

    little about guitars 

    IMHO

     

    Good luck OP

     

     

     

  5. I find that tuning to open D and capo at the second fret equals open E Ive kept my guitars in open D 

    for extended periods. I wouldn't leave my guitars in open E natural for long periods.  IMO

     

  6. Im a student of Gibson acoustic so take my opinion with a grain of salt, but I would think all ten would be well constructed.

    Although as I would any brand guitars I doubt out of  the ten that I would find MY perfect guitar, IMHO I think there is a difference 

    however slight in all guitars tone and if history repeats itself it would take usually many more than ten guitars to find the sound 

    that appeals totally to me. I really haven't bought a new guitar in more than 20 years,  but when I bought new guitars it took a lot 

    of looking and trying them out before I came up with the tone that I wanted. 

     

  7. Sound is in the ears of the beholder,  Ive been using Antique Acoustics for years and really like them.

    But I think  ( see above )  that solid pins work better than slotted. I changed all the slotted pins on my guitars

    over the years I got tired of seeing curled up pins on my guitars that  I paid a lot of money for.......IMHO
