Location: Kentucky | Has anybody look at the 1624 Country Aetist on E-bay item #2374008300? What do you think about the crack on the back side of the neck? |

Location: Scotland | Apart from the obvious it looks in good shape. If you want or need this type of guitar & you can get it cheap I'd take a chance. A headstock repair if it needs it, on a nylon string is much less of a problem than on a steel string. It's always hard to tell from a pic, but that crack doesn't look serious. Having said that my track record on potential junkers is around 50/50 |

Location: Minden, Nebraska | I agree with Paul T. The crack looks like a stress crack in the finish and nothing structural. That makes it a great deal at that price, imho. Even if the crack goes deeper than the clearcoat, nylon strings won't put a lot of torque on the headstock and that five piece neck looks pretty solid!
I haven't fared much better, if any, on fixer-uppers. I very recently paid more than the current bid on that Country Artist for a Folklore I had to send back. A crack is one thing.... A split in the top that has popped out of the binding is another. (The seller, I might add, has refunded my money. Whew!) |
