Finish defect on Silver Sky ?

[KentoR]

Hello
Just bought a second hand Silver Sky which is perfect in many ways, but has a little finish defect (I guess since I can feel some relief).
Is that common for such an expensive guitar ?

You bought a secondhand guitar and assume damage is from the factory? Occam’s Razor, bro.

I'm going to guess it's a ding from the previous owner bumping into something - seems the most likely culprit.

Depends what the defect is and where it is. Maybe.

Thanks, Marie Callender's!

Yes it’s very common with expensive second hand guitars.

Ok let me show you.

Sorry, forgot to post the picture.

Here it is

EDIT: Can't find a way to copy image from URL. What do you guys use to do it ?

Looks like a seam in a multi-piece body?

It isn't a seam. It's a scratch. You can see another mark to the right of it. Must have bumped against something.

Polish it out.

Quite possibly that has been caused by the previous owner. Is the lacquer fractured?

@LSchefman, Hello this is a picture artifact (something reflecting) at the right, there is nothing else than this mark. I've also checked below the pickguard, and behind the body, there is nothing else. And again it is not deep scratch, it is a relief. That is strange. I was worried in fact that this is a consequence of something really bad on the body underneath.

I just picked up a 2020 Silver Sky maple board in the same color as yours. Mine has a tiny ding on the back. Oh well. Doesn’t change how awesome the guitar is. Don’t let it bother you. Probably saved you some money too!

I guess anything can happen. I bought a SS from a dealer, frost. Under the clear coat was a piece of hair embedded. It just bugged me for some reason and the store replaced the guitar.

It was John Mayer’s. Don’t ask from where.
