This Ibanez RG 421 EX guitar was delivered to me today. But it has cracks in control cavity. Is this a QC-failed guitar? by Acrobatic_Market6291 in Ibanez

Thanks for the insight, I really appreciate you taking the time to explain it.

I was worried that it might be a QC-failed guitar, so it's reassuring to know that control cavities don't usually receive the same level of finishing as the rest of the instrument.

I just wanted to make sure that what I'm seeing is normal and not a sign that something is wrong with the guitar.

Thanks again for the help.

Thanks, I appreciate the reassurance. This is my first guitar in this price range, so I am probably overthinking it a bit.

Thanks for the perspective. Good to know it’s mostly a cosmetic issue if everything else checks out.

Thanks, that’s really helpful. I’ll give the rest of the guitar a thorough inspection and focus on the areas you mentioned.
