I don't either, it was a joke. With the amount of hand work done on the custom shop instruments none of them will ever be perfect. Gibson, like every other company, is only as good as it's worst employee.
PRS uses poly urethane which is why they look better consistently. If looks were more important than tone I would buy PRS, but they aren't, so I don't.
When my R8 arrived I looked it over for defects that would affect playability. Finish flaws and off center binding dots don't bother me. As a point of fact they are proof of the amount of hand work that goes into them, to me any ways.
