New 4003 - Cracked Lacquer On The Neck - Avoid?

[cjj]

Je laisserais l’occasion à quelqu’un d’autre. Ces fissures, même bénignes, sont aussi apparentes que les couilles d’un chien.

Such language!!!!

[Colonel Sanders]

Such language!!!!

The Bing on-line translator reverts it back as:

''I'd let the opportunity to someone else. These cracks, even benign, are also apparent as the balls of a dog.''

Disclaimer: Any spelling mistake in the last sentence is the sole responsibility of Bing.

there was damage to the the nut its not level, its pointing down, so there is the answer. how would that damage occur anyway. AVOID!!!

[coolingitdown]

I'd say ''pass''. Those cracks, even if benign, are sticking out like dogs balls.

Wow, the language has suddenly deteriorated here! That should be "dog's balls".

Funny, since this bass is definitely not the dog's ********. Or the mutt's nuts, for that matter.

Many thanks for the advice.

I will definitely avoid.....I had a feeling it was too good to be right....it's just that Ruby is beyond gorgeous!

[jdogric12]

Definitely avoid! That is NOT what I surmised from the OP! As already said, yes, that's from damage other than weather checking. AVOID!

[teeder]

I'll bet almost anything there's a ding somewhere on the head.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Now cleaning coffee off the computer screen...

How can you guys tell from the picture that it is from stress and not weather checking? What is the tell tale sign?

[teeder]

For one thing, that's a classic area and sign for a mis-hap.

The spyder lines mostly radiate from the edge of the nut.

The nut is in crooked, and they used to be put on before the CV so they had shiny sides and seamless appearance. Not sure lately.

So are we talking about dog's balls or nuts?
