Afternoon all.
New here but looking for answers to a neck issue with my 1969 Guild Starfire II.
My Dad gave me this a year or so ago. I don’t get on with it (I play metal) have tried to find a place for it but with no success.
Took it around a few local shops as I’d rather it go somewhere where it will get played. Three places gave me a price for both cash or commission. The fourth noticed some cracks in the laquer around the back of the neck. This wasn’t flagged by any other shop so not sure if it is actually an issue (particularly as store 4 were asking £££ to fix the issue).
I have attached a few picture to show. There is some splitting around the back and sides of the neck. The guy at the fourth shop said the neck would need resetting. I am suspicious as none of the others flagged this as an issue. Any advice would be great.
Cheers.
There is also a small crack in the fretboard but my searches have lead me to the conclusion that this is an age related issue.
