[Hummingbird sunburst question]

It's fine. Like Jalex said it could be bear claw, or some other sort of irregularity in the grain that affects how the finish reflects light. Google some images of bear claw, bear claw + Gibson sunburst guitar, etc. Your guitar is unique, and should that Hummingbird disappear on you, it would be easier to spot it online should someone try to resell it.

It's more likely that people new to nitro-finished guitars with pointy pickguards, like those that are on the H-bird, would get flustered when the pickguard starts to lift a little at the "points".

Any chance you could share a pic of the guitar that is less zoomed in? If you upload to imgur.com using "Direct Link", it could be imbedded here without running up against the forum's meager image data allowance.

Enjoy your new Hummingbird.

I, personally, like the imperfections..... it's the difference between a photo and portrait.

It's the flaws that make something 'art'.

Show us the whole guitar....I'll bet it's stunning!

How does it sound?   How does it play?

As already stated,,,,how about a complet pic of the guitar?

For some reason the forum won't let me upload any pics over 500kb. But these first two were over that.

I just purchased a hummingbird original heritage cherry. It was from an online store and when it arrived it had some slight blemishes around where the two colors meet. I have attached pictures of it. Is this something common with sunburst this is the first one I've ever owned?
