All jokes aside about Gibson's QA, I have no idea how this was even made and then passed any sort of QA they have. This is a left-handed 2018 that I got used. I would never have accepted this if I got it new for the prices they were charging. Although it plays fine and the bridge and pickups and strings all seem in-line with the neck, it looks like the bridge and pickups are off-center within the center block, so in reality it looks like there's about 1/8" more wood on the left side of the center block. I can't imagine how this ended up like this. I emailed Gibson late last week to ask, but haven't heard back yet.
