It could just be how the wood is naturally colored, it could be a different piece of wood where the guy who was cutting the board ....ed up and glued a new wood in place. I doubt it will affect the performance of the guitar, and to be honest, it's stupidly difficult to even spot unless you're really eyeballing it.

I think you're right, that's what I thought, the luthier must've screwed up the cut. It doesn't affect the performance, it's just a little ugly.

I'm just a little baffled as to why the luthier decided to use a completely different piece of wood rather than the original piece. I don't know. The mind of a luthier is a strange, strange place.

Edit: Also, happy HNGD man! Didn't notice that this was a recent trade.

I know, it seems a bit unprofessional, but it's probably acceptable within the factory standards, and thanks man! I'll post a proper NGD soon.

I cant believe you can even spot that.. Hopefully that doesn't get too in your way of shredding!
