I think it looks amazing, but yeah there are a couple of checks and divots in the paint. You have to look closely to see them, and honestly I don't mind one bit.

This pic was taken under the warm color.light in my studio so it looks a little more yellow than in reality. It's Olympic white, which is an off white, almost faintly cream color, and I think it looks classy as hell against the off white pick guard. I'm very happy with it, imperfections and all.

Nice! The white is gorgeous with the two browns of the neck and headstock.
