Finish crack or something more?

Hey Guys,

Wasn't sure where to post this. Hope I'm in the right forum....

Was looking for some input on an Artcore Custom Series Hollowbody. The Owner dutifully pointed out a "finish" crack near the set neck. It seems to run into or from the screw in the neck pup trim ring. (wasn't sure how to post a pic. The "crack" photo is in the top row, far right)

Do you think this is simply a finish crack or is this the begining of a wood crack problem?

Hope I'm posting in the correct forum!

Thanks,

KC

PS: I also posted in "finely finished"

Hard to tell from a pic but generally a crack in the wood will follow the grain so it will be in a relatively straight line. Not always mind you but usually.

I am not familiar with the guitar but assume it has a laminate top which would be far less prone to cracking than a solid top. Not sure what a crack in a laminate top would look like though.

Thanks for your input Zomby!

seems like a regular finish crack to me. nothing to really worry about.

i could be wrong though.
