Recently I’ve been contemplating getting one of the mid-90′s Gibson ES-135′s with humbuckers and no f-holes, when I spotted this one on eBay:

Now, Gibson isn’t exactly known for their quality control. And, the finishers do sunburst finishes ‘free-hand’ style without any type of guide for the paint, so you sometimes see a little variance in the symmetry. But this is just sad.

I thought it might have been the angle of the pic, but this one makes it look even worse:

Just thought I’d share. :)
