Such a shame. Cracking guitar but who can live with that?James wrote:I would say that's especially under the stain. It actually seems to change the value of them on ebay. Badly matched ones tend to go for less than ones where you don't notice it.Fran wrote:One of Gordon Smiths downfalls. Some of the grain matches on theirs are shocking even under stain.
As an example, there's this one that went for £190 (plus £25 postage if you can't pick up, but still cheap) and a lot of that I imagine is due to the terrible wood matching.

The Explorer i had was flawless but it was high end, the GS1.5 on the other hand had a great streak down it under the red stain.
