Hi all,

It's been ages since I posted here. Anyhow, a quick recap, I own a Jaguar Special and a Jagstang. The Jagstang I bought purley as a collectors item. When they were reissued I thought it was the perfect opportunity to buy one in perfect condition, and leave it that way.

I didn't buy a case for it at the time because I was short of cash. So for about two years it sat in its soft case on a guitar stand.

The other day I took it out to admire it. Just before I put it back in its soft case I noticed a crack in the paint work. Right on the corner of the long butt of the guitar. The crack seems to go all the way through the paint work and is about 5 cm's long. I realised that all the weight of the guitar was on that one point for two years, and the crack has slowly formed. It looked like it would've kept going around the guitar if I'd left it there.

Needless to say I'm EXTREMLEY annoyed!

Is it possible to patch up? If I'd only bought a case for it!!!

Anyways, I'll post a pic of it after my exam in four weeks, when I have more time.

I never would've thought the paint work could crack like that just from being ona guitar stand ☹

As promised...albeit a little late

You can see here what looks like a vein coming down, and then another crack on the under side
