When I first got my ES-345 in 1975, I had a heck of a time getting it to play in tune... one tech (whom I trusted) told me that the guitar had the famous "Gibson hump", meaning a slight rise where the fretboard meets the body of the guitar... he told me that there was no way to get it fully intonated unless that issue was addressed properly.
I called Gibson (actually started with a letter - this was in '75, remember?) and they were not willing to even address the issue! Even though the sticker in the f-hole clearly says "guaranteed for life"...
That was in the late 70's; I don't think they've gotten any more accommodating in the interim.
I'd say the warranty is not a big concern...
