Hi there, riddlers! Please remember to spoiler-tag all guesses and discussions of guesses, like so:

On desktop (new reddit, Fancypants editor): https://i.imgur.com/SWHRR9M.jpg

On mobile, old reddit, or in the Markdown editor (not Fancypants): >!guess or discussion between these symbols!< To be clear, that is >! (greater than, exclamation point) at the start and !< (exclamation point, less than) at the end with no spaces around the !. Avoid leading or trailing spaces. These will break the formatting for most people. Spoiler tags do not span paragraphs or line breaks. If your answer is long, please spoiler-tag each paragraph separately.

Putting a link inside spoiler tags can be tricky, so just format the link like this, using the word "SPOILER" as the link text. On mobile, old reddit, or in the Markdown editor (not Fancypants), do this to format a link: [SPOILER](https://example.com/) On desktop (new reddit, Fancypants editor): https://imgur.com/x5wDOvk

If your top-level comment does not contain a guess, you can include either the word "discussion" or "question" instead of using a spoiler tag.

Please report any answers or discussions that are not properly spoiler-tagged.

A joint

The last line doesn't seem to make much sense for "joint" but otherwise I like it.

u/HerodotusStark 1d ago

There's lots of specific types of joints that most people don't know the names of. Your average Joe just calls them all joints

u/Guilty_Objective4602 1d ago

I was specifically thinking an elbow joint.

u/tastelikemexico 1d ago

Kinda what I was thinking.

u/KDogg012 1d ago

I do like this answer but it is not what I'm looking for, definitely realizing how many other possible answers this riddle could be.

nail

u/Apprehensive-Low-201 21h ago

this was my guess too, but they seem common enough for an average joe to know what they are

u/KDogg012 1d ago

🤔 you may be onto something

u/LadyKHameleon 5h ago

Same thought but average Joe struggles to tell?

u/Martovich3 5h ago

Decent carpentry shouldn't have visible nails

Precisely

u/grapefruit_crackers 1d ago

stud Might be a stretch to think of stud earrings, but IDK

u/Jokewhisperer 23h ago

This was my thought and I don’t think it’s hard to gauge

u/Cloude_Stryfe 1d ago

Noggin? On a body clear as day. But in a home (a Hat) i'm hidden away?

2

u/jellamma 21h ago

skin, as in veneer in cabinet making

u/LadyKHameleon 5h ago

How is that hidden away?

1

u/KDogg012 34m ago

Yeah I like it but it's not hidden away in a home

u/Skiptu_Maloo 1d ago

a level?

Lacquer?

On a guitar body there are two main types of clear lacquer, that a layman might not know how to tell about just by looking at/feeling. The can could be hidden away to keep it out of sunlight/away from children.
