Hello vintage ES specialists. I have one to me very urgent questions about a 60s ES-335. If you had an instrument like this in a real good condition, nearly not dinged at all, perfect nitro all over the place but under the blacklight it shows an however changed surface that does not glow under the blacklight at all. From the rear strap pin following the treble side downwards some 20 inches or so. A perfect edge under the pin as done with masking tape and a rather shady/cloudy area on the lower side. As it is on the lower side it can not be that the laquer was rubbed off by a strap, i think it is oversprayed or touched up.
Now, what kind of issue is this to a otherwise more or less perfect vintage ES and how much could this knock off the price?
I'll attache one picture that shows the clear frontier between the glowing and the non glowing portion to illustrate what i mean.
Thank you for any advices in advance
