I am currently looking at a used guitar on ebay that indicates there is some small lacquer checking happening on the guitar finish close to the fretboard. From what I've read up on checking, it seems that it happens due to exposing the instrument in extreme temperature conditions. If checking is already happening on the guitar, is there a way to prevent the checking from spreading any further? (i.e. NOT exposing the instrument in various extreme temperatures :tongue
Or will the checking continue to get progressively worse over time despite taking the utmost care of the instrument?
I hope my post makes sense to you, I apologize in advance if there is any confusion. I will try to elaborate in any of my further posts should the need arise.
