So as you can see there`s a couple of cracks, first big one, is on the front panel of the guitar and the other small ones are at the screws of the output port on the bottom of the guitar which suggests the guitar was probably dropped, one of the screws moves around. [I bought it second hand, dont know the original owner]

I took the chords out and introduced a couple of lights inside the body and took some pictures best as I could and from what I saw the cracks are superficial, they did not went through. The output port for recording works, as I recorded some stuff on my sound interface, also the tuner works and the EQ works as well.

My questions are:

1. Could this affect the sound? As I play it, it does sound fine to me, no weird buzzing, no weird sounds, although sometimes I notice out of tune sounds, but that might be because I`m not pushing the chords right [been 3 years since I played a guitar, my fingers are not used to it]
2. Will this get worse? Will the cracks go through the body?
3. If they will go through the body and they will get worse WHAT can I do to repair these cracks by myself as there are no "guitar repairers" in this city. [I ordered the guitar from 100 miles away, but I live in a really small city.]
4. If not, should I leave it like this since it did not penetrate all the way?


PS: There ARE others really small cracks but I don`t think they penetrated the body completely either. That`s everything I could see, if there are any other cracks, may God help me.
Thanks for the help!

Will the finish crack even more though? It`s such a beautiful black guitar and I would hate to have all these little cracks everywhere.

BTW: Your signature guitar SICK!

Hard to know exactly what will happen but if it's just cosmetic don't worry too much. You could get them repaired but you would have to find someone with some skill.
