I totally agree with you guys who are saying it doesn’t affect anything or amount to any real issue with the guitar. I’ve put the strap button on, I’m keeping the guitar, and eventually I’ll get over it, stop caring, and achieve blissful acceptance. As you all have.
big thanks to @bodia for the additional pictures. I agree the PG looks the most similar to mine - and I think it’s the worst looking of the ones you posted.
I’ll put it this way: if you showed these two instances (my SSH and bodias PG) to Paul Reed Smith, as he was walking through the factory floor, and asked him if these dowel installations represent his quality standard, I would be very surprised if he said “yes”. That’s what I’m bummed about.
I’ll get over it eventually, but I’ll probably need a couple weeks to get there. I really like everything about this guitar that actually matters
Thanks to everyone for their feedback - especially those to shared info to clarify that this is part of the standard manufacturing process!
