I think the Gibson acoustics are made in a different factory.
I have an early 2000s custom order J35 with a big ass neck on it.
It sounds fantastic.
Took some finish off the back of the neck and it really feels good.

Traded for a 2017 Gibson J45 Standard. I'd say it's a fine guitar that I think a better saddle and either a new bridge or some tweaks to the bridge might help. The B and E string are a bit "sitar-y" if you know what I mean? Neck feels fine, finish has a bit of that "gummy" feel to it so if I decide to keep it I might take a little finish off the neck.
From what I've been told by people who make their living playing guitar the latest batch of Gibson electrics have really gone up in quality.

One of the biggest QC issues for almost everyone is the fact that in the grand old days of hometown music stores the guy who was setting up the guitar was one last QC stage. Now with all the big retailers even at most ma and pa shops the set up guy is the lowest ranking sales guy. In many cases the set up guy had the abilities to fix a lot of issues. So if you find a place that can actually set up a guitar, be loyal or be prepared to spend extra to get it setup.
Conflict alert my old employer sells guitars these days.
