What's happened here then?

It’s just a reflection of the ceiling light, the body of the guitar is contoured and it’s distorting reflection.

The fact that this is dividing opinion should be a warning to ask for some better full length pictures in natural light.

The fact that this is dividing opinion is just one more piece of evidence that the fact that something is dividing  opinion does not mean anything particularly useful when it comes to determining the facts of the matter.

The big patch of bare wood where the finish is sanded off. Or a reflection. Nobody knows, but this is the image:

What? That's a reflection. I was poring over the picture trying to work out what we were looking for - didn't register that that was anything other than a reflection. Because it's a reflection.

I'm genuinely confused here. Is this a guitar off ebay? 

What model is it anyway?

This has to qualify as one of the weirdest ever threads on the FB, and it's got some serious competition. Dude gets a pic of a guitar showing a reflection and posts a thread about it instead of sending a quick email to the seller?!

That facepalm button really needs reinstating.

I also love the attempt to anonymise the source of the guitar with the black scribbling.

With my eyes on my screen it doesn't look like a reflection. But... I still dont get it. Is there a picture of the whole guitar or a link to where its listed?

I want to know more and yet wish I'd never seen this thread.

Sit further back, it can't be good having your eyes touching the screen.

Ah! I thought the two pictures eaier were some sort of plea to kill this thread!

So, yes, must be a reflection. Apologies, but seeing where the pictures are from it makes sense. I thiugh it was some rough ebay or gumtree listing.
