Umm, actually it doesn’t seem to follow the grain at all. It definitely looks flawed to me.I would say it is the angle of the grain, elongated
Good grief, it is wood and it is fine. It isn't a strength issue, it is a bit of personality. Just relax.Here’s a closer shot.

hawk tuahi'm on team mineral streak, put some strings on that thang
I do feel as if there is a difference in texture, but it’s incredibly slight and has diminished after having run my fingernail over it several times. It felt sort of tacky. Adhesive-like.Umm, actually it doesn’t seem to follow the grain at all. It definitely looks flawed to me.
What do those dark streaks feel like??? Are they smooth like the surrounding wood, or are they a different texture?
I’m thinking if they’d be burn marks, they would have been sanded out during production. And if it’s actually voids in the wood itself, then it’s inferior wood and shouldn’t have passed inspection.
Are you able to magnify it even more when you take the picture???
Yeah, I’m definitely not a fan. It has a lot of contrast and is just in that one location.It would not bother me: It's not structural and looks kinda interesting. Does not look like a router burn to me (I have lots of experience with those that I've made myself). I think it's fine.
BUT!
I'm not you. If you don't like it then you should contact warmoth.
I would, but I’m down to my last piece!That is from when they were routing the truss rod. Totally unacceptable.
You need to call them up and ask to speak to Ken directly and give him a piece of your mind.
Then you need to post about it all over the internet so we can all have a few laughs.
Those who know, know why. Lol
If it can be scraped off, it’s definitely a router burn. A mineral streak would have a different texture than the wood, but may not be easily minimized by scraping your fingernail over it several times.Guess I’m painting the headstock!
Grousing?!?! HOW DARE YOU!?Instead of grousing what did warmoth say.
Obviously a joke because those in the know, know Ken passed some number of years ago.That is from when they were routing the truss rod. Totally unacceptable.
