IRL the finish is not in very good shape. LOTS of crazing and cracks. Not all of them, but most of them, were already there when I acquired the guitar in the mid-1970's. It was made in 1968 and had a hard life before landing in the pawn shop where I bought it. I don't think I was even in high school yet. You either think it's ugly, or you love it, or you love it because it's ugly. It's not helped by the yellowing over time of the clear coat which makes it look all of the various colors of snot ;-)
