most manufacturers offer a return policy. my only question is WHY did someone choose to keep that guitar? send it back, wait a few weeks or months until they send you something you're satisfied with. if that's unacceptable because they want it NOW then they're only really interested in the brand name so why whine about the quality?
ESP has a known quality issue, but they're also known for having a great return policy. i paid over a grand for my EC-1000, it has 2-3 minor issues with the finish (mostly around the binding) but not enough to make me return it. i'm not perfect, i don't expect my instrument to be either. besides, they all end up looking a little rough around the edges after a while with the way i play haha.
your quotes make it sound like these people were dropping fair chunks of change on guitars and either not knowing how or bothering to get them properly setup.
dots on the fretboard and overspray is lame but hardly the end of the world. the hole between the neck pickup and the neck should have been a big clue to SEND IT BACK. same as the issue on the back of the guitar.
besides, gibsons were known to suck in the 80s. why would a reissue of a guitar from a time when the company was known to suck be expected to not suck?
