This mint GT is on Reverb. Looks great (even though I think it's $$$$. What's the opinion on the finish checking on the neck near the headstock? Is that just checking or could it be small cracks?

Looks like a very nice unmolested 1955 Goldtop. The condition is excellent from what I can see. I don't see anything in the photos or description that would be an issue.

I haven't had any experience with the seller, Asbury Park Vintage Guitars. As a potential buyer, I would want to call them on the phone for an in-hand description.

Here are a few photos from the listing:

That guitar did recently come from the UK. I've seen the guitar in person and know the seller. It is a finish crack.

This is the one from the UK auction. The lighting was different so I did not recognize. I was interested in this guitar the first time it was on Reverb but it sold before I made an offer (42K).

Anyway, must be the UK to US import duty... lol
