They don't really travel anywhere and there's only a few. They're not very visible unless you hold it up to the light (the finish is satin on a flame maple laminate side so not ideal for spotting things!) and you can just make out them, but they are quite easy to feel.
I am in two minds about this really. It still plays fine, but I am concerned about keeping it if these cracks could grow in time, maybe weakening the guitar so that it possibly could sustain damage more easily in future. I'm fairly sure that they
aren't just defects that are considered "normal" as the satin finish shows them up, so they can presumably only have been caused after the laquer had been applied.
Do you think I should keep the guitar and hope it's not a problem, or demand a replacement which the courier can pay for? :?:
