Rare Flaw
A few year ago I bought a new top of the line Guild D-55 from a web site in USA (I live in Spain). When the guitar arrive to my home discovered a strange flaw under the nitro lacquer. I never seen something like that in a acoustic guitar and the guitar was New (not a Second o outlet item). It was sold 3 years ago.

That's white binding cement that was not properly sanded out of the spruce top. This should have been corrected at the sealer stage, when it first shows up like this.
It should have never made it through final inspection...

Look at it like this, it totally YOUR guitar. Just like I would love to buy a Rick with a finish imperfection or clownglo. Totally different, the fact that it was a mistake makes it individual and cool. Sort of like coins that are stamped wrong.

Yeeeeah. Keep telling yourself that.
