Hi all.

I've recently bought a second hand rg 550 Genesis desert yellow and guess what? It has a finish crack in the neck pocket. The wood is not cracked, I took the neck of to make sure. Is there a way to fix the finish crack? It's just a visual thing, but I'd like to be able to repair it. It became my favorite guitar in three days btw, absolutely awesome guitar and the best I've ever played!

That's normal lol

I believe is caused by humidity, weather, cold, etc

My rg565 didn't have this. I shipped it to another state to have a sustainer installed, it was there for a few months. It came back with that tiny crack in the neck pocket. I already knew why lol

Not much can be done, all Jems have it too
