What Ken said.

Sez me:
a) Bad refinish. One step up from "tung oil"; two steps up from "spray can." Not just fair-to-poor varnish work but patently bad finish prep. Not that I can do better but we all aim for a much higher standard than that!

b) Bad finish does not even cover shabby work. Gotta like the Bond-O on the back -- mmm, Bond-O!

c) Open cracks.

In short:
1) A poor "investment"
2) A guaranteed money-pit
3) If it sounds good today it is unlikely to sound good in two months
