Does anyone know of anything more serious than a paint crack in a neck joint?
I am offered a Deluxe with what seems a crack in the paint which goes along the joint all the way to the pickup cavilty.
I've seen these but I don't know if anyone has experience actual issues or just paint cracks.
Any experience with this?

Re: cracks in neck joint
My experience has always been that they're just finish cracks. At this point, if the action is okay and it's not having tuning issues then I think it's probably confirmation that they're just finish cracks and not something more serious.

We'll see if it pans out.
I have a bead on a Deluxe - 1999 - Gen2 pickups at a decent price. (sub 2K).
Should be decided tonight.
The guitar is beautiful except for the finish crack.
But it's in Switzerland. Owner is meeting with a prospective buyer and prefers to deal hand to hand.
I'll know if I'm in the race later. I'll keep you guys briefed!
