Official Luthiers Forum!

Hello! Very excited to join this forum. This is my first post =) I'll introduce myself later.As I have an urgent situation here.

I got this guitar(Takamine Jasmine S33) not too long ago.Been kept in a hard case for the whole time.But for whatever reason, the joint on the neck is developing a crack. I have read alot of materials but not sure if it applies to this case.

Thank you in advance.

You might try posting this in the main forum, the electric guys aren't going to be able to help much on this one.

Oh sorry about this. I thought this is for all guitars. Thanks for redirecting me =)

The crack its self can be fixed. I am assuming that the rim to neck block joint had a glue void or starvation failure there. that has to be addressed to insure that the rim will not pull away from the neck block again. So tell me did the neck receive a hard blow to the palm side. This is not a failure seen often because this joint is an opposing grain joint it is not normally going to fail in this manner. the neck will have to come off to evaluate the problem and to repair.
