recently posted about 1/4" hairline crack on ledge above neck plate...was told it is almost certainly a finish crack and is common around the neck plate area...is this true of modern poly finishes though?...it is almost straight 1/4" long, can see a bit of white in it...it is very small...i got a tour coming up...will it affect tuning stability or get worse (say even if it is a wood crack!)...am i obsessing way too much over the first mark on my first american strat?...should i be unconcerned?...unfortunately i can't get into see a fender tech until after i have to play these dates

again..;a hairline crack above neck plate right of center...starting just above plate, going up over angle to ledge ...stopping before meeting back of the neck... my wife (who's not a player) sez looks like a finish crack to her...but i worry esp. it being my baby and going on the road...thanks for your help and input! i appreciate it.

Boy I( think I'd cancel the tour and put that thing out to pasture! Seriously I don't think I'd worry about it for piece of mind bing another axe along in case some does booger up.
