I just bought a used Cherry T59 and it does have what I consider reliced dings in the back of the neck. Not very deep and more like "rash". That being said the guitar reeks of craftsmanship. I will say that this reminds me greatly of a Heritage 555 that was recently stolen from me. I paid about 1/3 the price of a used 555.
