I found an old estudio Conde Atocha at the local music store.
Its has the green label so I know its a workshop student model but it has a nice sound and I was thinking of buying it.

However it has some weird spider web type cracks in the nitro finish, they are just in the varnish and do not go through the wood.

The store owner says its normal with such an old guitar but thought I'd ask here before I buy it. Is it ok?

Photos attached.

I think it's fine. Many good Gibson guitars also have that surface.

much more important is to examine if the guitar is structurally OK (neck , etc.)

Nitro finish 'checking' isn't a problem, just aesthetic.

As 'hxwhf72752003' says; some electric guitar players seek it out. Even paying thousands extra to have new guitars with deliberately induced nitro cracks.

Thanks for the replies.
They are just lines in the varnish.
I will buy it.

Please post a bunch of photos when you get it, best of luck with the purchase.

Hope you got lucky and got a good one there for a good price.
Sometimes one can get lucky with these older Segundos. Jose Carlos Gomez had one which he prefered for years over many Media Lunas, and did concerts with it.
