The Paisley artwork is a Wall-Paper design that is printed on thin-Foil and glued on the body. Then sprayed with a burst to hide the edges before Nitrocellulose was applied.
Fender also released this Bigsby version is smaller number. The Bigsby is a less desired model to collectors.
On every guitar over the years, the foil adhesive has started to give away underneath the coating and most, if not all of them shows this
The Foil has gone from pink to yellowish over time, But under the clear pickguard, the fading is less evident.
