He talked about that at the end, he said he wasn't going to spend the time building it up to get it level because the guitar is worked hard. Sounds to me like the owner did not want to pay the cost of doing all that and with the way the guitar looks at only being 10 years old I guess I can't blame him lol. Man for such a young guitar it sure looks like it has been abused quite heavily.

Wow, it's only about 10 and it has that many cracks? I would expect that from a lower end guitar but not one of these Gibson's. Does the owner use the guitar for gigging or driving fence posts? Lol... great job doing what you could with what you had. I was wondering if you were going to leave the cracks visible and you answered that question at the end. Yeah, I think going through all the work to fix the finish and hide the cracks would be a waste of time and money due to how hard this guitar seems to be getting played, is the guy in Slipknot or something? lol

It's owned by a touring musician who isn't gentle on his guitars, so it's seen a lot of airplanes and vans and been in unheated compartments where it's -20. I think it spends a lot of time on a stand when it's not being played. That's the worst - if you want to keep a guitar in shape it's got to stay in the case.

You don't generally see 10 year old Martins in this state. So, are Gibsons more shoddily made, or Gibson players more shoddy? There was no obvious mechanical damage that I could see. No dents or missing chunks. Great repair, as always. (If you're going to be playing an acoustic through a magnetic pickup a tough laminated guitar is fine. Handy hint, just saved you $1,000)...

It's a flawed design for an amplified acoustic and that is probably why it is underwhelming to you. The more stuff you have bolted to the top, the less the top can do its job acoustically. This has a pickup, pots, pu knobs, the bridge, a pickguard. Plus all acoustics vary in character. Idk what to tell you, I wouldn't drop $3000 on any guitar sight unseen without some safety net if it wasn't to my liking. Fwiw, it's also hard to really say what any guitar on here sounds like in a room with youtube's horrible compression.
