Last week I posted a thread poking fun at GC for having an F-112 for sale with ten strings and 11 bridge pins...way to market that stuff huh??
There was also a bad reflection on the back upper bout which would lead anyone to believe there was a rather large crack between body and binding.
It came in Monday and I've been out of town until today, so it was nice and warm when I went to pick it up. Which is good, considering it is 10 degrees out today.
Look at the back of the neck where the bass side truss rod would be located. I think there may be a small truss rod crack.
Have one of those experts look at it and run there hand over it and see if they feel a crack before they ship it.
I heeded Gilded's advice and they said there was nothing. Hmmm.

Other than this the guitar is in amazing shape for it's age except the darned tuners require a set of vice grips. Then again, I was in the cold quite a bit today, could be the frost bite.
One thing is odd. The fret board sides change color at the junction with the top. See here

Lovely grain
