First order and QC madness

I’ve finally received the email telling me that the long awaited Gibson Explorer 80´s in Classic White is in stock ! I didn’t wait long before pulling out my card and ordering this beauty 🥰

I’ve waited 3 days to receive it and my happiness shut down after opening the case… varnish crack, wood showing on a edge, serial number invisible under a thick coat of paint, stain, paint leak round the back plate, fretboard condition discutable…

First order didn’t lie about the QC at Gibson, I was wondering why everyone was saying this, now I understand.

Now I’m wondering if I should wait again and try to order another one when there’s stock 🤨
