fortyearspickn Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 In some cased I wonder if it is the how the stain takes in the joint. A couple factors may be involved: the amount of glue absorbed by the edge face of the pieces of wood, the dryness of the wood at the time of spraying. I have seen some Gibson sunburst that have the line with no grain runout. The grain is straight and parallel, perpendicular to the bodylines, or parallel to the neek. As the guitar ages and the grain lines darken the seam line may blend in more and become less distinct. chasAK Chasak, great point. different parts of the grain (light/soft vs dark/hard) will absorb stain and nitro a little differently - so the grain may look different. Now, thanks to the OCD interweb - I have to spend the rest of the afternoon looking for nearly invisible seams on my guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
