The clear coat on the Pink Paisley finish exhibits some concentrated areas of checking at the corners of the neck heel and bass-side of the back, with a couple areas of finish wear through the Paisley pattern on the treble side of the back, along with various smaller chips, dings, and finish scratches, largely on the body perimeter. The smooth gloss on the neck profile is smooth and fast-feeling in the palm with just a few shallow marks.
