Was just at my local shop and they have a used Ibanez Paul Gilbert FRM300PR in the shop, price for me is reallly hard to pass up but there is something in question, both the shop and myself recognize, may or may not be an issue.
Basically from where the fretboard meets the head stock down about 2.5-3 inches, on both sides of the neck, there are cracks in the finish. Headstock seems stable, no flexing but because its a painted neck, they nor I can determine if its just finish cracks or it goes deeper.
Little back store, they bought it used, was fine, someone comes in and buys it and returns its shirtly after claiming the 2 cracks mentioned above. They took it back and its now on the wall.
I know the shop, very well respected, wouldnt sell something for the price they had on it, if it had the cracks in it.
Would you buy that guitar if youre not sure about the cracks.
