Yes, it's trivial - but a perfect illustration of the laziness and lack of care about doing things right, or correcting mistakes properly when they happen.
What's a lot less trivial is the nasty hump in the fingerboard which is causing major choking at the 12th-13th frets, and which I am fret-dressing out. Definitely in the wood, not a high fret or wear.

Anyone who really cared about doing the job right would have replaced the label. The serial numbers are hand-written anyway, so it's not as if they have special ones printed.

The irony is that this one has an unusually low neck angle, and if it wasn't for the speed bump in the fingerboard it would play really well. Well, that and the hideous squared-edged frets... which will shortly be gone too.

Bear in mind that this guitar has not been refretted, that's as it left the factory.
What did they cut the fret slot with, a chainsaw? The wood is badly torn up on both sides - and I certainly did not make the crowning file marks! I mask the fingerboard.
This is not a £100 Chinese copy, it's a £2K US-made guitar from one of supposedly the world's best brands.
