I have a few EVHs with stress cracks at the neck pockets. Doesnt seem to bother the playing though . Could be overtightening of the neck plate screws though !!

I got a LUKE couple years back that came directly from the dealer (Pete) as a special order and it had a stress crack the first day I opened the case. It was barely visible in the first place and did not affect anything whatsoever. I decided to sell it to get my current Silo Special...but I regreted selling it so I have another coming VERY soon (I hope). Bottom line is...just play and dont mind it. Doesnt affect a single thing, and I bet its barely noticable anyway.

I have a big hairy crack in the back of my body, it might be stress related...
I don't know!
Should I take a picture and send it to CS?

I haven't noticed any cracks in any of the Balls I have owned. I have heard the warning about not over tightening of the neck plate to reduce the possibility of this occurring.

Oh man, bad,bad mental image, yuck:p

Any ways no big deal to have one, only in the clearcoat affects nothing, my new DDII Luke has one happened after I brought it home, not even noticeable.
