I presume the burnt finish was to get rid of the woodworm in the body?

That's AI generated blurb. You can recognise if from the trite phrases - "whether you're a beginner, performer, etc", "sure to impress", "perfect for right handed players", "taking your talent to the next level" and so on. All the sort of tripe that non-musicians (the wallies who developed the AI spiel generator) believe musicians will be persuaded by.

He also has a Precision style thing that mentions the intentionally inflicted woodworm holes and that he went for a "burnt floorboard " vibe.

 

Sad to say I quite like the look of these😳😳

By comparison to "he who must be unmentioned" these are masterpieces

Looks perfect for doubling at pub gigs - i.e. finish the set and it doubles as a cribbage board!

Is this a new way of reducing weight?

"I have made four of these so they're going to be very rare" (on the other advert). They'd have been even rarer if he'd only made one, and the world would have been a better place.
