Hi all,
I got this old 64 ES-345, which under a blacklight, shows some funny business going on around the neck joint. See photos below. I haven't seen a ton of vintage guitars under blacklight; I can pick out when something's off but can't always diagnose exactly what's been done.
So what are we looking at here? A neck replacement? A neck reset? None of the above? The headstock has also been repaired (noted in another thread) but it does not glow green like the rest of the guitar, including the neck joint pictured. So if something (or rather, whatever) has been done at the joint, it wasn't done in the same way, or perhaps at the same time, as the headstock; because other than these little smudges, the body and the neck (including the joint) glow the same tint of green.
What do you guys think?
