Hi there,
First of all, hi everyone! I've just purchased my first Gibson Les Paul. I've always wanted one as soon as I saw Jimmy Page play one so I splashed out and got the Les Paul Classic in honeyburst.
It's arrived and I love it! However, I just noticed several circle markings on the body below the bridge. Maybe I'm reading too much into this but since it's brand new I wanted to see what some people in the know thought it was. Is it a problem with the finish/varnish? Or just the natural wood grain/knot. The only reason that makes me think it mightn't be there is that there are quite a few close together. Almost like they're watermarks?
I'm sure I'll forget about them in time but then again I am a designer by trade ...so a bit of a fanny when noticing this stuff! So problem is now I've noticed it I can't un-see it.
Attached some pics, it's harder to capture in a photo but I've tried. Is it worth contacting the supplier over the finish?
Thanks,
Steve
