Have you guys had guitars with this issue? is this something to worry about? they say its a good sign since the neck pocket and the neck has a nice snug fit which is advisable. Your thoughts?

It's okay kung finish crack lang. My tele has that.

I read somewhere, that japanese guitars usually have this..since they really know how to build good neckpockets..

Bought a Fender standard strat last month that has a hairline crack sa neck pocket.
Had it checked by Micsis,sabi it's ok,minor lang daw and paint lang.
Sold it for 12k

Pero ganda nung strat na yun :/ sunburst pa.

paint crack lang yan old guitars finish cracks kasi nag shishrink

tonwins11 · « **Reply #10 on:** June 08, 2013, 06:27:06 AM »

If it's real crack, okay lang yung "along the grain" crack kasi medyo mas easier pa ayusin. Kung "across the grain" =

Bolt Thrower · « **Reply #11 on:** June 08, 2013, 08:47:28 AM »

normal lang sa bolt on yung finish crack. malalaman mo sagad kahoy na yung crack pag uka na yung crack.

Gunslinger · « **Reply #12 on:** June 08, 2013, 08:53:20 AM »

Yep, okay lang yan. Surface crack lang - finish, not the wood. Kahit setnecks actually minsan may ganyan. micsis told me okay lang din daw yung ganun. Pero..

I read this Ron Kirn guy say, fender sought to solve out this problem during the 80's yata..thus making 3 screw neck joints..nawala nga yung cracks pero dami daw nagrereklamo sa design or something.

ahh di naman pala yung 3 bolt yung issue..sabi sa thread..yung batch nung fender na yan overall ang nagslip yung quality nila kaya di trip ng collectors.

Walang kaso ang 3 bolt joint. Meron din siyang neck tilt adjustment

The 3 screw neck bolts was installed alongside Leo Fender's micro tilt neck adjustment. Although it really is not a bad idea, many thought it made the joint very unstable.

I have to admit, ceteris paribus, I would still like mine to have a regular 4 bolt neck joint.

Bolt Thrower · « **Reply #22 on:** June 08, 2013, 04:22:09 PM »

mapapansin mo naman pag crack na yung neck joint mo sa kahoy. medyo unstable na yung neck. konting push mo sa neck may whammy effect na.

qwi · « **Reply #23 on:** June 08, 2013, 05:29:45 PM »

kung stable pa din naman yung guitar tuning, walang problema dyan.

this thread is very helpful for those who are O.C on neck pockets. (like me)
