I purchased one of the new Epiphone Les Paul Modern Figured with the Caribbean Blue Fade. Gorgeous finish except for a fairly sized patch where the finish hasn't taken very well and looks almost like a bleach stain (along with some untidy tooling marks along the neck binding) I have provided a picture but it is not as prominent as it is in person. I'm not gonna kick off though because I've seen £2000 Gibsons with similar problems and for £549 the guitar really is excellent, but part of me feels that for such an obvious flaw in an otherwise flawless finish, it perhaps should have been listed as a B Stock.
