Vanschoyck Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 There's a 575 currently for sale in a very near configuration to one I'm considering having built. I'm eyeballing it. One of the photos shows the inside of one of the f holes and I'm trying to see if the dark area of the maple (inside back) is a problem, as in a future crack. Anyone know what to look for here? All help and opinion appreciated!
skydog52 Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 Looks like it might be mineral streaking to me. Usually not a problem. Hard to tell in a picture.
Steiner Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 I was thinking mineral streaks too. It's hard to believe Heritage would continue to build a guitar with such an obvious defect (If it were a crack). Get the guitar with an inspection period, check the spot carefully. If it's anything BUT streaks, return it.
Vanschoyck Posted August 14, 2014 Author Posted August 14, 2014 Get the guitar with an inspection period, check the spot carefully. If it's anything BUT streaks, return it. It's on Ebay, so a return might be problematical. (Listing says "no returns.")
yoslate Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 I'll endorse the consensus, David: Mineral streaking; should be good to go.
