The lacquer is cured nicely on the neck but the body is a tad soft still but not too soft to mount the hardware.
Backside burst was intentionally faded to mimic wear and age along with wear spots as the guitar is 33 years old and should look its age somewhat vs new.
Got some chipping on the 1st 3 tuner holes pushing the bushing in...dammit but meh...its supposed to be worn and played, right?
