    Is this ‘74 Fender JB Neck worth attempting to save?

    That's a pressure crack.. a common problem with bullet truss rods and I had this happen to me, but yours is so bad it actually split the inlay. When I talked to a few guys if it made sense to attempt a repair they both said once the crack spreads across the fingerboard fingerboard the neck...
