Hello,
I recently purchased a 2nd hand 1995 MIM strat. There appears to be a small (1-2mm) gap between the neck and body. This gap is between the side of neck and body. There seems to be full contact at the back of the body/neck. Does anybody know if this is a huge problem, or if it will affect resonance of the guitar. Its seems to sound just fine but i am worried that this problem could worsen. Thanks

Welcome!

It won't affect resonance and as to whether its a huge problem or not, the guitar has been around for a while now and so, if it was a problem, it would have manifested itself long before now. Enjoy your new (to you) guitar!!

After all these years since the 1970's, and still Fender lets a few out the door with sloppy neck pockets. Not really a problem, just looks bad.
