Neck Joint Crack

Do you think this is a bad one? Does it look like it goes into the body, or just a finish crack? Any of you guys got these on your favorite used and abuses axes?

It's hard to tell from the picture, but it appears to be just the finish. You'd have to take off the neck and mounting plate to really tell.

This is why i love this forum. 3 replies already. This wasn't even approved for posting at the ernie ball forum yet. Thanks guys and gals. Basically i got the chance to pick that guitar up for CHEAP on yahoo auction. The only problem is i already have a EBMMJP6 in mystic dream.

don't see the picture as well, but it should be all fine. i had this little finish cracks in both strats i've owned, and also see this in others' guitars quite often. i imagine it would be really hard to make in a crack in the body and still have the guitar to hold together.
i like chocolate, i like fudge
if i can't make any, i won't budge
