Summary
Finish: The body and neck has been over-sprayed. At some point, a floating pickup has placed in between the bridge and neck humbuckers. Because of this, the finish was effected and drop fill was used to cover the wear spots leaving two convex circles between the pickups. In addition to this, because of a neck reset, the finish in and around the neck pocket was buffed and has aged differently causing minor discoloration.
