Blueshawk Lacquer

Hi Tim and welcome....

 

Nitrocellulose lacquer is prone to cracking(often described as 'checking')

 

Some folks regard this as 'character' and do not worry over it

 

Checking can occur at any time, sometimes brought on by temp/humidity fluctuations

 

If a guitar is refinished with nitro...it may well check again at some stage

 

On the other hand, there are guitars decades old which have not checked...
