I recently bought a 2022 SE Holcomb SVN with the 'coffee stain'/satin finish. It was bought brand new from a mom and pop store out of Kentucky.

'New' 2015 Santana arrived yesterday (from Signature Dealer) and noticed today that there's something like a blister or hairline crack on the neck. One of them that can be felt to the touch and two smaller ones that just look like a dull blemish or bubble so far under the finish. I can't figure...
