I got my B&B candy apple red jazzmaster today! Yaayy!
Only thing is, the free tuner the seller said he would give me as an apology wasn't there... :-\ Plus, there's two tiny cracks in the finish, in a corner just where the neck meets the body. They're about 1/5 and 1/6 of an inch long.
Other than that, the guitar looks beautiful!

Of the guitar itself or the cracks? All I have is the crappy camera on my cell phone, but I'll check out soon what I can do with it.

Those finish cracks will just give it character!
It''s just the finish, right? Not the guitar itself?

You guys need to get to japan... that Ishibashi store is like a trip into a time machine... Custom colors, painted headstocks, blocks, bindings... sigh. I left with a 65' Strat (blasphemous, but I own more than a couple of offsets...)... with dots and binding! Cool country. Its a place where offsets are king!

Their used inventory, taken from all of their various stores. Still, I would love to see it all in person.

Taken with my cell phone, but:
The cracks are just in the finish and I have decided to just live with them. They don't really affect anything anyway, and they're hard to notice. All in all I'm pretty happy with the guitar
