I'm glad I didn't ask you guys to inspect my 87C before I bought it, or I may have backed out. It has a few issues besides the finish crack that was disclosed, but in some respects I prefer my blissful ignorance.
This one, however, became misleading once they seller was informed by our expert, Bruce. At that point an informed OFCer might still have been happy with it, but if someone else sniped it without knowing of all the problems, he or she would be deservedly pissed.

Mark, I am far from an expert. The issues on this guitar were obvious. Almost everything jumped out on the initial cosmetic inspection. I can just imagine what the other guys posting on this thread would have said.

Expertise is relative, Bruce. I just deposed a mergers and acquisitions expert today. It pisses me off when I know nothing about the topic, but know more than the "expert" does by the end of the deposition. Our definition used to be a guy from out of town with a briefcase. I guess you didn't qualify under that definition, but you still qualify as a guitar expert in my book. I've missed some pretty blatant stuff before, but I tend to let desire blind me.

And my compliments to the seller (with Noah's help)...again, this should go direct to the factory and the cost of repair probably won't be known until they physically see it.
