Hello everyone, I am a student. I saved up my pocket money for a long time and bought my first Musicman Majesty guitar in my life. However, I have some doubts about the craftsmanship of the guitar. I'm not sure if it's normal or not, and I would like to consult you all. Because when I consulted the owner where I bought the guitar, he said it was normal and laughed at me for being a first-time buyer. So I can only come online to seek help from you all。

1.Under the reflection light, a series of dents can be seen on the paint of the headstock, which is the area circled in red by me.

2.The glossy paint layer near the guitar's 7th string winding has separated from the primer layer, and the whitened area is evident in the picture...
It has already protruded...

Is my situation a normal phenomenon? Also, there are some scratches on the surface of the cover of the battery compartment on the back of my guitar.....

I hope someone can help me. Thank you......

If I understand correctly, you bought a used instrument and it has a few minor blems and scratches on the finish?
I would consider that quite normal...

But this guitar is a new model from 2024. The seller claims it's brand new, and says this is how this brand is😭

If this is a sold-as-new model (e.g. not used) and you're not happy with it, take it back.

I don't think I've seen a paint blemish like that before. It's possible it left the factory like that, it's also possible that it was damaged at the store/dealer/etc.

Personally that wouldn't bother me- I doubt I'd even notice it. But it's your purchase, so the only thing that matters is how you feel about it.
