A PRS McCarty 594 with this overspray on the Binding is not acceptable!

Agreed. Though I just watched a few of his videos and he complains a lot about everything. I'd rather not spend my time watching a guitar channel that's just so damn negative.

Oh I agree with you. What I don’t agree with is his generalization as to why. I think it’s ridiculous. These things happen, no matter what you’re buying. What matters is how PRS or the reseller does about it. That’s what customer service is for.
First world problem! He is a real whinger. I prefer to look at the good aspects. I would hardly have a guitar to play if I worried about "imperfections". I certainly wouldn't play any Gibson, even though they give me such pleasure. Who cares about a little stain bleed here and there? It's character!
My recent Duo Jet is possibly the only "perfect" guitar I have ever seen. Well, it was when I bought it. It sure isn't now!
Don't show this guy a relic...

At 39 seconds, the klaxon alarm covers his cussing. That's my .wav file!!!! I made it with DOS 1.0 app called recorder. It's actually my voice saying "testing 1 2 3 4" but I put it through so many levels of reverb, and then amplified it, brought it back down to nothing, again and again that it made that pure distortion sound.
My friend Dennis Steinert was part of the Microsoft development community and he submitted the sound and it was accepted! Made it's way into the "classic sounds" on phones, etc.
My contribution to mankind, lol....

I wouldn’t buy a guitar for thousands of dollars sight unseen in the first place. But if I did and this is what I received, I would send it back right away or ask for a discount.
I have purchased a Guitar sight unseen for $299.00 AU and it comes with a 100 day return Policy & Money Back including Shipping.
I found no Issues!
It also has a 3 year warranty.
I wouldn't accept that PRS finish on a Guitar for any price!

I’m not sure what any of that means, but it sounds cool as hell!

If I ordered it, I would first send photos and ask for a discount, and then send it to PRS to have it fixed for free. I’ve done it with a Les Paul.

It's an expensive guitar to have any imperfections. Would I send that guitar back? I doubt it. I guess I just have different expectations.
I think people now have this increased expectation/demand for perfection in products they buy. Maybe it's years of CNC produced things, Ikea type products, I don't know. It's not like the 60s where Fender bodies and necks were hand carved so each individual piece was slightly unique based on the worker building it. I'm sure everybody's guitar heroes had guitars they bought new with small imperfections. As long as it didn't effect the playability or the sound I'd consider it character. Seems like within a week of getting a guitar it ends up with belt rash or some kind of ding it in that christens it my guitar lol.
I'm not sure I can even articulate what I mean. People expect soulless carbon copies of things they buy instead of realizing human hands touch and change these things during production.

Cracks me up, I'll be in the market and hear that alarm sound going off, someone answers the phone and never knows that's my voice *highly distorted* that they're using for their ringtone, lmao....

Is this satire? Yeah, that’s a bad QC job and should 100% have been fixed before it got out of the factory or sold as a B-stock, but this dude sounds like such a buzzkill. Speculating that the worker was hungover or high, and then mildly complaining about weed being legal? What was that about? If anything I’d blame the fact that most US guitar makers pay poverty wages for luxury products… idk about PRS specifically, but a majority of the US guitar manufacturers boast about their pride for American craftsmanship while paying their employees hourly wages that hover around the federal minimum.

Why, when he can make a whiny video and rake in the advertising peanuts!

I agree this should have been caught before the guitar went out or sold as B-stock. Having been in the PRS factory is that the binding caught a whiff of overspray from another guitar and was too close to the spray booth, hence the color and clear coat over it.
The only time I ever returned a guitar was an SG with a bad mid hump. I can sympathize with the guy if he takes issue but complaining on a public forum is very tacky.
I bett he threatened the waiter at Red Lobster with a bad Yelp review if his cheddar cheese biscuits weren't made complimentary with his order of surf n' turf.
