Re: Workmanship Quality on Historics

Here's a few quick shots.

1- Some slight dips in the finish along the binding in a few spots. Not a big deal and easy enough to remedy with lacquer I think if I am so inclined.

2- Side marker dots poorly positioned. A few marker dots are not well centered on the binding. That looks pretty sloppy. Imediately noticeable. especially when you see the whole length of the neck and the markers wobbling up and down. I'm thinking of having a luthier redo those two properly if that is possible.

There's a few more little minor things. (Body finish on the edge of the neck slightly rough etc.) Cosmetic issues only. The cloudy blotches on the finish are coming out with polishing so that's good.

Nitpicking? Yes.. I mean No!

3- Stepping away from the macro lens, It is a good looking instrument overall.
