Neck split

[Decadent Dan]

67 on Reverb, overpriced and no mention of the split.

They made that guitar from wood that was not fully seasoned. But if that is all of the problem I wouldn't worry. If it bothers you it can be filled with hard wax polish.

It lines up with the truss rod, so I guess that would be a possibility. I’ve seen that same hairline crack before. Wonder if the truss rod channel creates a weak spot in that direction?

I dunno... that kind of crack can totally be from an impact.

It's not a problem... but it's a very fixable bargaining chip.

Googled another one… SG, looks much newer.

Over-tightened truss rod?

Tightening truss rod without loosening strings first?

Did someone glue a pick there to get better neck dive?

“The neck is all as tight as it will go and it still has some bow in it.”

some people shouldn't be allowed to drive... some people shouldn't be allowed to adjust truss rods. ouch.
