Beneath the paint

You might have seen this pic before, allegedly, it's a Gibson guitar, some dweeb stripped the paint off his instrument & saw this beneath the glorious finish- bad workmanship as evident.

This is not an attempt to be derisive of the Gibson brand name; for goodness sake, I own Gibson guitars (also, it isn't final as to whether it's really a Gibson). The implication here is, what you can't see won't harm you but once discovered, it's a cause for vehemence, especially after paying a fortune for the instrument.
