There is also some heavier finish wear on the back of the body along the bottom edge and on the top edge of the headstock, along with some scratches along the sides of the body. There are a few small dings on the back of the neck which do not affect playability: behind the 2nd fret, behind the 5th fret, and along the bass side of the heel.
