omfg.. i was just looking over my 2 guitars there, and i just found 2 cracks in my mexi,
both of the cracks are in the mody leading up to the side of the base of the neck around the corner from the a*s plate. here's a picture... omg im panicking here.
nowi heard that it's only a crack in the finish or on the surface if yo9u can't slide a piece of paper in the crack, now this crack is literally hairline, you can feel it when you run your nail across it but there's no way you'd even fit a hair in there, any comments? there's also a tiny one on the other side, about 1/3 the length of that one.
im having no tuning issues, and there's no extra vibration in the neck when i swing it about to get a vibrato..

omg

OK seems no one wants to talk to you and then they gonna jump all over me for my opinions.
But you know what they say about opinions lol.
What you have is polyester finish on your Strat.
It polishes up quickly to a glass like finish and is cheap to do.
That's why they put it on the Mexicans to keep cost down.
It cracks like glass that's its draw back.
What you see is stress cracks in the finish from flex of a gig bag or no case.
Most likely no big deal lots of Mexican Strats do this and play just fine.
If the actual wood cracked it would be more pronounced most likely
So I wouldn't trip on it at this point.

No most Mexicans are Polyester.
Most Americans and Custom Shop are Urethane.
Nitro is on a select few models in all origin and Vintage reissue stuff mostly.

And no they didn't take you wrong.
There is a big group of old timers that like to be cyber bullies on these Fender boards.
They don't like new people like the Nathan kid they only want Parrots of themselves.
They think they all work for Fender and no one else can help anyone but them.
If you do, they get mad if you actually do help and can talk to people on a street level so they understand.
The cyber bullies here get furious and black ball you.
I think its hilarious :)
There is always gonna be new kids and new ideas.
I say everyone is welcome lets have a party!

Disagree Donny:

Most of the charter members who still contribute are ready and willing to help. Remember that us 'oldtimers' age-wise came up with the company and played what you young'uns call 'vintage' when they were brand new. The depth and breadth of the knowledge base out here is legion and, with respect to what rings your chimes, many of us have been there and done that before your parents ever knew each other. This does not excuse ANYONE for disrespectful behavior. One must consider the construct of what is written before submission because all of the nuances of conversation are missing on the printed page.

There's a strong interest in maintaining a level of maturity and class herein and when a newcomer like 'Nathan-The-Kid' [not the first of his ilk] presents himself with his easily identifiable generational conversational 'style', if it can be called that, a bit of orientation is in order...i.e...this IS your father's/grandfather's website. Conduct yourself accordingly here if you want to stay in the game.

We have become extremely sensitive to abusive attitudes in these pages. There's a subset of online users/spammers who manifest varying degrees of psychological ill health and act out to a lesser or greater extent by getting off on busting other people's chops. We have come to have a zero tolerance philosophy for this and have adopted a policy of paying no attention to the man behind the curtain in many cases, learning to recognize what should not be responded to at all.

The OP appears to have realized what was out of order when he first introduced himself, and this should be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. :wink:
