ozzy138 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) Basschat Universe.... I noticed today this hairline crack has appeared on my battered and bruised 30 year old Thunderbird... I'm wondering if the crack is just the paint or a sign one of the wings has shifted. Can I ignore it or does it need a visit to the local luthier? I hope you experts can help...

A.G.E.N.T.E. Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Non expert opinion but I guess It's hard to evaluate. That could be just a superficial crack on the paint caused by the expansion and contraction of the wood over the years and differences in temperature. I wouldn't bother if everything else is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downunderwonder Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Another valueless opinion: it looks like it has been there awhile. Even though it has apparently gone all the length of the body right the way through it hasn't fallen apart so I am voting paint distress patina also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I see the problem - it's that Fender branded grolschlock sitting on a Gibson product. Matter and antimatter, there's clearly been an adverse reaction of some sort that's arced from strap button to strap button 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
