Gibson SG ´61 Standard TT

I got this guitar to "replace" my 335 on jams and venues that play loud but the sound is not great, i had feedback issues live when there is no sound engineer ... The SG is a great instrument, overall well balanced, super light, fast neck (surprisingly flat-ish at the 12th fret), the tone is awesome and versatile, you can get a lot done by just fiddling with the guitar controls... add some pedals and the sky's the limit.
The colour is really classy.

Gibson, that QC... seriously?!
these are minor things, but for high end instruments it's a shame. The cavities were all full of dry buffing compound, the fretboard was rough and full of small tool marks, the strings were dead, the nut was varnished with the guitar (literally), and the neck... i could have shot arrows with a bow like that.
Its took me about 3h of love to get this baby clean, and set up. Nothing that affects the instrument itself, but the average consumer isn't expecting to have a luthier bill on top of buying a new guitar.
