I need to buy a guitar within the next few days: Which GIBSON? (jazz, metal)

gonna have to disagree. money is all relative. it's all in how you chose to spend it.

having said that you guys across the pond have a COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS markup on gibsons. holy effing **** man. it's the same numbers in the price tag but in pounds instead of dollars. no wonder you're getting so pissed with their drop in quality. average les pauls at my local store run from $995.00 to about $1500. obviously more for customs or special models. but that's canadian dollars. or 500 - 750 pounds.

so yeah, you guys are getting seriously gouged in the pocket. and yeah, you're goddamned right i would expect a $3000 to be flawless and immaculate. then again i doubt you'd be getting 'that' upset about some cosmetic flaws on a guitar that only cost 500 pounds or so.
