No, this.

In the original photo the guitar is leaning against a stand and the picture was taken from the back. Here's another photo that I hope will make it a little easier to make out the orientation. Please disregard the reflection in the back of the guitar.

The flaw is the light colored thin strip where ...

I called RIC today, and when the person on the phone asked me to describe the problem I didn't even get past telling him the model of guitar before he knew what it was because of this forum.
