American standard?

You'd think that American craftsmanship takes pride in giving you the best money has to offer but the reality is this; when the products are from the lower tier offerings, cutting corners are inevitable. It's like having them done in some third world factory to spare the coffers. The example shown above- the short tenon with a chipped edge & that unforgivable gap there. The objective of a mortise-tenon alignment is its full contact coherence once adhesive is applied. Any gaps in this discipline, there is a compromise in strength & in this case, it affects resonance. This tragedy here is a hidden anomaly because there is a pick guard hiding it all.
