Yes, they're fairly common on EBMM's - maybe 2% of the guitars develop them over time (that's a complete guess - the number could be a lot less)... I've got a couple guitars with them and you hear about them from time to time. They're a finish issue only, and don't effect a guitar's tone or playability in any way, shape or form. EBMM covers them during a guitar's warranty period, but as has been mentioned, they change out the body to fix it, and if I'm happy with the weight and tone of my guitar, I don't want to change my body!Nicolarsen said:I noticed the fine crack near the neck/body-joint... Mine's got the exact same crack... Anyone know if this is common?
