It looks like they chipped the paint off of the neck and gave it a new decal. The photos in the original listing are really nice and show some over sanding and generally make the refinish look worse... though I love that pickguard!
It should clean up really nice, though ask questions - for some reason it has a 1970's neck plate number - other parts might be changed too!
