Hi Guys,
I got my dream '52 tele reissue 6 months ago.
Firstly excuse my incorrect terminology before i go any further, Im just home from the pub!
On the back of my neck, (not the finger board side) where the dark brown line of wood meets the normal wood, a small blemish has appeared. Its not from a fall or lack of care because I am extremely cautious where I place my guitar. It surely cant be from ware, I play about an hour a day. I am very afraid that the neck coating will crack or peel from this point, thus extremely altering the playability of my guitar. There is no further marks around it, proving it was not handled badly.
What should i do? I am afraid to play it now. Am I worrying over nothing? I am afraid if i bring it to get checked out, I will be laughed at or else told that the neck needs a new spray job.
Any advice will be really appreciated, i am looking at my tele but i am afraid to play it.
Help!!!

It's hard to determine how severe of a problem it is without actually seeing a picture of the area that you're talking about.

You've only had it for six months. I'd take it back to where you bought it and have them take a look at it and hopefully repair.

Thats the thing, it may not be much, but I dont know, Im worried about playing it. I guess returning it to point of purchase is the best option.
Thank you
