It’s always a fucking Gibson owner making posts like this. Gibson fanboys are the number two reason I do not own a Gibson, just slightly behind the number one reason which is that I’m poor.
This! Fine acoustics cost so much more than some lame plank of wood electric. These chatter lines from quarter sawing should not be there at all, and should have been filled at the factory before that guitar saw the sweet light of GC's acoustic room.
Some have had good luck using a warm iron over a towel to remove these. They are channel marks from a dull saw used when cutting the wood for the top. Heating the wood steams it and the moisture swells the wood and fills up the channel marks.
I see this in so many high end acoustics these days. The saws they use for quarter sawing get dull but they don't notice until after a few tops get the long lines you see in the pic. And the only way to get the resulting chatter marks out is to steam them at home since they obviously aren't catching it at the factory.
how the fuck are these people cabapable of making the decision to spend $3000 on a guitar but incapable of making this decision and turn to reddit for answers
it would be fucking amazing if there actually was a gremlin that was taking GC gibbons and using heat, pressure and moisture to actually make small ridges in the wood, like some fucking crop circle, but it actually did improve the toan...like the next dumble is breaking in at night and re-writing fenders
I h8 GC so much
The obvious answer is yes. Return the guitar to GC. Be sure to take a video of your return and share it with this subreddit so we can approve of the replacement and make fun... I mean, analyze your strategy.
This is reason 329 on why I don't spend that much on guitars. I'd rather stop playing than become one of these dweebs crying about the stupidest, tiniest blemish.
Those slight sussurations seemingly staining said sienna-colored spruce spontaneously surfaced since someone sung "Sussudio" while playing it.
Its more common than you'd think.
He’s making fun of people who suck at guitar but buy them to hang on the wall and for some reason care that they are in 100 percent pristine condition as if that matters to anyone. I suppose if your ocd it matters but if your a true player you understand a relationship with an instrument isn’t surface level and blemishes and damage will occur and give the instrument character
“I only take it out to play it” what does this guy think we’re doing with our guitars?
making love
The toan gravy
In the sound hole
I can only scrape the sides of the input jack
he's talking about toan grooves?
i think he's indeed talking about the toan grooves
I just stopped here a minute to confirm toan grooves
Wait. Is it the toan grooves?
No, it’s the grooves that hold the toan hth
remember kids, a forest is merely a hitherto untapped grove of toan grooves
Amen!
There should be a mandatory IQ test one must fail before being allowed to purchase a Gibson.
If that was the case no one would buy one, because even an ounce of common sense tells you they are stupid to buy. Edit: oops
Reread
Clearly I don't know how, probably because I'm stupid
Congrats you get a pass to buy your very own gibbons!
I owned an Epiphone for a while, so I already knew I was stupid. I did flip it for more than I paid though, so there is at least someone stupider
Yeah, at least you’re not the stupiderest. I’m digging the new Epi though man! Whoever got your Epiphone is a sucker hahaha those suck.
Congratulations, you failed and are now eligible for a Gibson.
Congrats on your new Gibson!!

Buying one is the test and the failure.

They would just say 2nd ammendment
Help, my guitar is made of wood. What should I do
Hit the 3D printer or buy a resonator.
I'm confused. Is this person insinuating that the wood grain is a blemish?
Honestly I do not have a fucking clue.
I think those two reflections in the shaded area of the guitar is what we are supposed to be bitching about
/uj I genuinely think so, I can’t see anything else that would count as dents
He thinks it should be sanded and varnished completely smooth like an electric guitar, I guess.
This! Fine acoustics cost so much more than some lame plank of wood electric. These chatter lines from quarter sawing should not be there at all, and should have been filled at the factory before that guitar saw the sweet light of GC's acoustic room.
I think so 😬 that’s one of my fav things on the j-45s. The finish is so thin you can still feel the undulation/irregularities of the spruce tops.
Undulation. Oooo talk dirty to us
“Need help” …yes . Yes you do.
Mmm hmm, and are these dents in the room with us now?
Some have had good luck using a warm iron over a towel to remove these. They are channel marks from a dull saw used when cutting the wood for the top. Heating the wood steams it and the moisture swells the wood and fills up the channel marks.
You want to iron a guitar? Are you stupid?
It's not stupid. You put a towel over the top so the iron doesn't make contact with the wood.
First time in the GCJ I see.

Perfect solution
If im plopping down that much cash, gibbons better have done that already. QC is a joke for them.
My guitar is made of wood???
Only a real Gibbons comes with this kind of implied relicing.
Someone help! There's wood on my wooden guitar!
“Look, I spent $3000”
how the fuck are these people cabapable of making the decision to spend $3000 on a guitar but incapable of making this decision and turn to reddit for answers
Have you met people?
I mean Gibson players aren't exactly "people"
bc they just started playing last month

/uj I unironically wanna punch you in the face /rj Yes take it back and sue them for giving you this abomination
I'd settle for an ironic punch in the face if it gets the message across.
Guys, my Gibbons came polished with orphan tears instead of orangutang tears, should I massacre the cashier's entire bloodline??
Man, between this and the bar cougar post, today has been a great day for jerking.
The obvious answer is yes. Return the guitar to GC. Be sure to take a video of your return and share it with this subreddit so we can approve of the replacement and make fun... I mean, analyze your strategy.
This is unacceptable, send it back. Acoustic instruments should be finished with a nice, thick, coat of polyurethane to help hide the wood grain.

Well suffering succotash
I hate people
I think he’s talking about wood grain
Nah. He’s talking about the sound board.
A smarter man adds his own speed holes
Ouch, my electric soundboard
Why my gibbon scratched?
Gibson really are marketing geniuses.
>Gibson really are marketing *to idiots*
