Hello,
I purchased a JTV-89 early 2017, out of warranty now. I just noticed a small (1/2") crack on the (black) surface of the neck pocket, inside the top cutout. I am HOPING it is only a crack in the paint and not the wood. I have babied this instrument with the utmost care: no drops and regular cleaning/maintenance.
1) What are the chances this is a crack through the wood? I am a bit nervous unbolting the neck.
2) Has anyone experience paint cracking in the neck pocket region/is this common?
3) Assuming this is a paint crack, is there a solvent to remove the crack, and later buff out?
Thanks all
