What a body!

Postby John M » 09 Jan 2011, 16:43

I've noticed recently that when light hits my guitar body at a certain angle the finish seems quite rough.
Although very smooth to the touch it does seem rather lumpy under certain lighting conditions.
Is this normal or is it a sign of future problems.
The guitar is a '57 "re-issue" CIJ Strat.
See attached pix.
