I guess so, but I do really like the guitar, so I'm happy to get it fixed/replaced, plus I'd rather Peach kept the sale
Me too. I tried the Telecaster style one a while back and I liked it a lot

Bad fretwork and more importantly strings too close to the edge due to bridge placement or neck angle is not acceptable at this price range really when some other brands get these things right at half the price
I guess the upside of this is that the next one I get will be thoroughly checked and working... hopefully
A badly seated fret can give a bad dead spot - this can be checked by gently tapping the frets with a wrench ( strings off of course ) and seeing if any of them sound deader - in this case reseating and wicking the fret with low viscosity superglue will sort it out.
None of my guitars have any of those either as I would have sorted them out otherwise and always use glue if I refret.
But a dead spot can also be a much more subtle quieter spot on the fretboard due to a vibration node - these are unavoidable due to the physics of vibrating instruments and are present in all guitars to some extent, but can be very irritating if you notice one and pay attention to it.
while I agree with most of your points, why do you say that the impedance of the strings to bridge and bridge to body is too high to allow significant transfer of energy?
That seems contrary to evidence that placing your ear against the body of an electric while playing while let you hear it loud and clear,
and a semi hollow with the same bridge as a solid body is much louder acoustically - which would rather show that it’s the body to air impedance which is high for solidbodies.
Edit: also when people talk about resonant guitars they just mean acoustically loud and are not talking about resonance as in the physics sense - but I’m sure you know that.
