Have any of you bought a silver sky and had issues with the neck finish?
Opened this from sweetwater just now and as I ran my hand down the back of the neck I immediately felt what I thought were dents. At first I thought it was from the guys at Sweetwater since they inspect them, but close inspection it looks like it's some globs of laquer. Immediately noticeable when you run your hand along the neck. Also the general feel of laquer on the neck is a bit tacky and maybe just slightly orange peeled.
I've owned about 8-9 PRS core and higher guitars, but this is the first time I've experienced anything less than perfect from them.
It's hard to photograph clear laquer on light maple but I tried. You can see some of it in the middle/lower area of the flash glare. It's about a 1" x 2" area on the back of the neck that has some random bumps and such. I would expect this from Gibson but not PRS. Pretty disappointing.
