Bought New Guitar... and there's a CRACK!

[HeadBandGuy]

Hi all, not sure if this is posted in the right area,
please let me know, and i'll move it.

I just bought a Kramer Satchel Signature Guitar, and got a case with it, unforunately i didnt check it thoroughly at the store, and when i checked it out at home, have since found this crack in the neck joint.

im gonna call tomorrow, but is this anything to worry about? specially cos i paid a pretty penny for it.

and it looks to have a bit of overspray on it too...

any assistance would be amazing. cheers.

Damn, that thing is wicked. Shame about the crack, it definitely needs to go back.

Ouch that's not good. I would take it back get another guitar or at best get your money back. Give it a good polish and clean. Good luck

Dang.... thats what i was afraid of!
back it does then! :/
i may have to find something less cool than this.

I am too.
they got it in from sydney for me.
i dont think it got damaged on the ride home, specially being in a case.
does this kind of thing happen often with guitars and cracks?

not long. have tried learning on and off for over a year, more of a drummer and pianist.
so, yeah love music, not long playing.

Thanks not a good place to have damage part of the neck pocket is cracked badly. Looks like it's been dropped or fallen back on headstock.is there any damage on back of headstock at top. No good worrying take it back and choose something else I'm sure you'll be happy with. Or as I suggested get your money back.

That sucks mate - hope you can get something as nice!

worst case scenario is i have to keep it, and get the steel panther guys to sign it, and then... idunno.

i was afraid of something like that, feared that it had been dropped or not packaged right. not liking my chances of getting another one, hard to find my personality in a guitar the way this one has been designed. (i love purple, and leppard, particularly sno leppard)
