2 callouts for full transparency:
I did not fully grain-fill the mahogany body wood, so you can still see some grain pattern on the back of the guitar in the right light.
There is a small "chip-out" on the heel of the neck where it joins with the body (see photos for clarification). It does not come into contact with your hand when playing. The price of the guitar has been adjusted with this small blemish in mind.
