Forgive the typos...I'm all thumbs on this thing..
This has to be the most ill-informed post I've read here.Common how ? 100 people complained ? Given the number of guitars sold, that's probably waaaaaay under the QC tolerance for genral manufacturing. I don't really want to white knight brand X or Y, but I'm growing tired of seeing individual issues labeled as "common" when nobody I know ever encountered them, and I know a few guitar players, including a good chunk of professional ones. That's valid for Solar and Gibson mostly, having got my hands on multiple new models fro each brand, including a few personal purchases.
Remember that Ola being an internet celebrity, the Solar custimer base is likely much more present on forums and such. 100 complaints online is nothing. Believe me, I worked in the video games industry for 15 years, where having millions of complaints after a patch is common. (I worked for Blizzard in France before they closed the french office because they got caught cheating on their taxes)
As @ArtDecade has already pointed out, the games market is way bigger (probably by two orders of magnitude) than the guitar market, and software bugs are easy to fix (assuming the vendor prioritises bugfixes and posts them regularly).
But a cracked fretboard should never occur, even once, on a well-made guitar. Not only is it a catastrophic failure and very tough to fix economically, it is also an indicator of a gross failure to adopt even basic care in the selection of tonewoods (how it is cut both to optimise grain and prevent warpage, kiln drying, seasoning, etc.)
Which means that even if you find a clean one, you can never be sure it won't develop problems later as poor selection cutting and seasoning make themselves apparent through movement of the wood.
This smacks of imcompetence at best; wilful negligence at worst.
