Those normally came with a Gibson gig bag, bonus that it’s a nice case. A good friend of mine has one of those, it’s his main guitar and he has many more expensive guitars. Agree that it’s disappointing that you’ll need to do some fret work, but hopefully you enjoy the guitar after that. Personally, I think it’s worth paying for a proper setup and fret end cleanup. That’ll give you a good starting point from which you can maintain it yourself.

Do the frets yourself… take’s 5 minutes… take off the strings, file the fret ends rounded… you could even polish them and treat the fretboard while the strings are off… That happens from humidity change… I have 5 Les Pauls.. 2 being Standards… I also have one of those… I love it… definitely my go to guitar. For the price you got it with a case… you should be tickled…. I wouldn’t return it for a 20 minute set up job…

Ну, как говорится с обновой !

I am going Saturday to get my 22 Tribute. Did the frets correct themselves when the guitar acclimated?

I was going to get the cheap LP, but I don't think I will after seeing how quick you lost the enthusiasm for it.
