The gold boy finish will usually have some small imperfections and this one does have some light dimples here and there. Although this is the one of the best looking ones I've seen. Here is a disclaimer from Ibanez.

To honor the world-renowned Joe Satriani Signature Series, the Ibanez R&D team worked closely with Joe to develop a finish that was worthy of both Joe's approval, and of the Gold Boy moniker. Each and every JS1 Gold Boy will have passed stringent Ibanez quality control standards, however due to the unique nature of this striking finish, some minor imperfections may be expected, are considered normal.
