May be the previous owner applied the original Smith polish recently. That makes raw wood areas glossy to some degree...

Im not sure about that... I never used the stuff, but it doesnt feel like any polish, more like a lacquer, doesnt feel like it will "rub off"

either way, love the thing...

big difference playing a 5er from a 6... all my electric basses are 4 or 6's... now im diggin the 5 again... haha
