Is it just on the surface with the paint or is it right throught he wood? $@!&....still not good. But if it don't affect the playability of the axe...don't worry about it I suppose hey..

Cheers.

Hmmmmm....Weird...I store all of my strats in various parts of my house...kind of like an alcoholic stores their grog...lol...

Anyway, I have not ever had this happen to me...

Is it an old axe, or is it a ri still under warranty..

After looking at this pic I have determined it is just a pile of wood. That crack is just too noticable and will cause tuning issues that can never be corrected. Just send it to me and I will dispose of it for you for free. :D :D

Seriousely, if it looks superficial, maybe a good luthier and fix it.

There's something about the thread title which just seems wrong... But it made me laugh. :lol:

I wonder what makes that guitar a POC, as the owner stated?

The picture shows a guitar that Yngwie would love to get his hands on ... it must be something that won't show up in the megapixels ...

Sorry, but this is just funny to me! Surely the OP, Giantpiggy, intent was not comic relief to an otherwise serious condition; but yeah…. Just funny to me. I have compiled GP’s dialogue in this one post, more for my convenience than anything else.
BTW, the guitar is gorgeous!

•My 74 blondes got a giant crack

•Just noticed today while having a look at it.......developed a giant crack in the body from the bridge to the back,not concerned its a pile of crap anyway

•No just through the clear coating,bit of a shame its a nice rig in unmolested condition.....lives in its case just got a big dose of dry out for some reason

•its a old one,cant see cracking in photo but a bit dissapointing i guess,the cracking sticks out like dogs balls being a see trough blonde

GL with your rig dude.
Peace,
