For this posting, I have written about some common hidden issues with guitars. Usually the revelation only arrives after the purchases. Here is a short excerpt from it ...

"Generally, most common visible blemishes should not escape the capture of photography. If there are certain visible issues, they should show up in the pictures unless the seller “photoshop” the pictures or deliberately avoided angles that will illuminate the blemishes.

is 'hidden' taken to mean an intent, on the part of the seller, not to disclose inherent issues?

I perceived it as both, some sellers know but hide it but others are oblivious about them. In both cases, they are hidden ... the outcome is the same to all buyers ...
 
if there is proof that there is no intent by the buyer to not disclose these defects/ issues as they are indeed 'hidden' even from him, then there shouldn't be excessive dissent for the seller. sometimes it happens, bad pieces manifest their rot much later... i feel that shops, as sellers, are in a better position to address this issue, as opposed to individual sellers.
 
Appreciate your point of view, I can gladly understand those "unpredictable" issues and chronic ones too. Just hope to share some thoughts regarding prevention and remedy. When such things happen, it would be important to remedy them instead of tracing ... liken to a drowning victim who needs immediate attention rather throwing a swimming manual as help ... cheers.

i thought that, in light of this education, we tend to paint a negative picture of the seller because there's a likelihood of us attributing all the blame on him since he bears some responsibilities upon parting with his good(s). but in due fairness, considerations should cut both ways, we should give some thought to the nature of the problem as opposed to looking for parties to account for the liabilities.
