animalfarm Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Do you have a photo-hosting site such as Photobucket or ImageShack, so you can post pics of the crack? The LP Spec II IS a bolt-on neck, but without pics and/or a more detailed description we're sort of stuck. Have to SEE the damage/problem! If you don't have pic site, post back - one of us will be able to provide forum link on "how-to". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad1 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 The LP Special II is an entry level guitar. Not a bad guitar, but not worth spending a lot of money on. So having said that.....just play it. Don't worry about it. It's probably just a crack in the finish. And if it is, you are not going to spend the money, or do all the work required to refinish it. If it is a crack in the wood, again, I don't think you are going to want to spend the money, time, and/or effort to fix it. So my advice is........play it! If it sounds good, that's all that matters. Play it till it either proves that it will hold up, or till it falls apart. Either way, just have fun playing, and don't worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad is correct, it is an "entry-level" git (I have one myself), but is it the ONLY git you have? May be just a finish flaw due to temp/humidity - has been known to happen.

WyldePlayer Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 New nuts and new strings are a must have for me when i buy a new guitar. Especially when its an acoustic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The neck is bolted on to the body with 4 big screws, it ain't going nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an NA (Natural) Sheraton II and I can see fine cracks in the finish right where the neck is glued into the body. It's cosmetic and nothing to worry about. It doesn't affect the playability. As was said, if it plays well, don't worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
