The only defect is the slight crack in the lacquer under the nut shelf. The nut is too narrow so there's a gap at the end of the slot. The lacquer has sunk in an ugly manner there and the nut has been oddly masked off leading to that line of lacquer. The tooling marks on the side of the nut are also slightly unforgivable. Complacent luthiery rather than outright bad work or overt damage.
