Gibson Les Paul Standard 60s BB

Clearly Gibson still have some quite serious quality issues. The fretboard was dry like Sahara and it was not very well sanded. You can feel it is lightly rough. You can see tool markings on the fretboard too and some small dints. The stopbar tailpiece was not screwed fully/properly to the body. The setup out of box was quite poor with pretty high action. You can feel the joint between binding and the body and neck like they did not routed really precisely for the binding. One of the tone knobs is quite loose too. Factory strings are crap. Unbelievable how it passed their QA. I'll keep it because I've been waiting for it and always wanted to have one, but I have to say my two Epis ('59 and StdPro) were much better out of the box and overall better finfish quality, setup, etc. I'd say the extra €1500-€1700 seems to be for the shipping from US and the name on the headstock.
Besides the QA issues, overall it is a great instrument and sounds really good, but needed some love (fretboard oil and setup). The rest could be fixed by the good luthier I suppose. That should not be the case though for the instrument in that price range.
