I would say that's especially under the stain. It actually seems to change the value of them on ebay. Badly matched ones tend to go for less than ones where you don't notice it.
As an example, there's this one that went for £190 (plus £25 postage if you can't pick up, but still cheap) and a lot of that I imagine is due to the terrible wood matching.
Such a shame. Cracking guitar but who can live with that?
The Explorer i had was flawless but it was high end, the GS1.5 on the other hand had a great streak down it under the red stain.

Sorry Paul but these Gibsons are awful. I jest a lot about hating Gibson, i dont, but these suck. Makes you wonder what is going on at Gibbo and Fender these days with some of the shit they are turning out, the same old designs rehashed for the umpteenth time is becoming hilarious.
Weird, apparently I thought so too.
