Should I be concerned? New Banjo with hairline cracks in the poly finish
I just recently purchased a new RK-R20 and I noticed a little piece of the finish was missing near the nut and as I took a closer look at the neck, I noticed that there are two hairline cracks around the nut.
I was wondering if this is just a cosmetic issue or if it is a structural issue with the neck? I’ve owned guitars my whole life so I know that sometimes the poly finish can crack, but I was wondering if this is something that I should be concerned about. I had it shipped from Florida to up north where it’s colder so I’m wondering if temperature caused this. It does not appear that the cracks are along with the grain of the wood.
I know temperature changes can affect the finish because the wood moves with temp changes, but I just wanted to know if this is an issue that I should be concerned about. I don’t see any signs that the banjo was dropped or anything like that. If it’s just cosmetic, I don’t mind at all, just looking for some feedback or if this is an issue anyone else has encountered. Thanks!!
