I have an Ibanez (not sure on the model) and I noticed that the neck has a crack in the back of it, and the strings are a bit off until I push it back into position. It's not off by much, but I was wondering if anyone thinks it would be worth it to try to fix with wood glue or super glue and a clamp...
It's not worth much (obviously) and I can get a pretty good Washburn on Musician's Friend for 100 bucks (230 off the original price).
Thanks

The neck is broken enough that it moves?
Egads ...
I'd just get a new one ... once you break through that wood forget it. No amount of "Moon Landing Super Grip Epoxy" is going to fix it IMO

yeah, well, i can still play it for now at least.
sound is not that important, so i guess i'll replace it with one in the same price range.
thanks for the info on my broken neck...err, my guitar's broken neck

how much would it really affect the sound? the guitar isn't a masterpiece in the first place anyway...
