Any "abnormalities" you think you see in the photos are either wood grain or reflection. I absolutely LOVE this guitar! I just don't play it enough to justify keeping it. Also, I have many guitars for sale and more coming almost every day so subscribe and keep watch for your favorite!
Here's a cut-n-paste from Taylor to tell you more about the model: Sapeles clear, balanced tonal properties are well-suited for a 12-string. The cutaway acoustic/electric 356ce delivers plenty of midrange and octave shimmer, balanced by the low-end power of the Grand Symphony body shape. An ultra-playable neck delivers an effortless fretting experience. Appointments include black binding, a black pickguard, Italian acrylic small diamond fretboard inlays, a 3-ring rosette, and a satin-finish sapele body with a gloss-finish spruce top.
