Show your LACQUER CHECKS

[IPLAYLOUD]

Preferably an older guitar with checking from time, but if you have a cool relic, that's ok. Please make it YOUR guitar.

I'm not looking for wear marks (although if you find checking, you find wear).
No nicks or dents (although if you find checking, you find those, too).

Checking Only...close-ups preferred!
