The nitro _will_ settle. The last guitar I bought new was a nitro sprayed guitar fresh from the factory. It was smelly and a little tacky for a few months. It is great, at this point.
Also, in the 70s I worked for a big music company with a HUGE repair/restoration business. We sprayed both nitro and poly. It did take time for those finishes to really set up.
Enjoy your new guitar!
(Don't forget to get some banjo time in, too.)

Untidy innards and a dry solder joint...on a brand-new guitar. Hmmmph. Hard to defend Gibson even for a fanboy like meself. Glad your tech sorted them out easily.
Sounds like you got a winner!

Well...anybody who has ever worked at a big MI shop will tell you that stuff comes from the factory in need of attention. The smaller companies (read: boutiques) are pretty good about basic set up and clean up of their gear before they ship, but the biggies used to ship stuff in need of a good once over prior to having it hung on the wall at the store.

That's why you should buy, if possible, from a local store with a good tech. "Guitar Guitar" in Edinburgh is a great guitar shop, so I'm lucky.
I've been playing for forty years, but this is my first Gibson, and a quality one at that. Feel I've finally grown up ;-)

Hi Rob,
Pleased to hear you've got it at last, it's common to experience
the sticky neck ,it will pass.
whatever you dot don't grow up I try to avoid it at all costs. My
brain tells me I'm still 20 I just wish my legs & eyes would agree.
look forward to your vid in due course
kindest regards
