Is this crack in the wood or the finish and how much will it cost to fix
Just got this strat guitar for a steal used and cant afford to mail it back.

It sounds amazing after my channel 2 boost clone. Its just a nice subtle texture to my amazing sounding guitar. My guitar uses fenders vintage style pickups though and it is so noisy and microphonic I had to get rid of my DOD looking glass I don't know if the pedals messed up or if it's just my guitar is so fucking noisy. I'm still using my jhs coyote and I adore it but it's also kind of noisy sometimes it makes the guitar really microphonic and have feedback but you can tune it down where it's fine it's still bearable whenever you're grounding the guitar. It sounds like it sings and I love it.
I'm not really 100% sold on the del Mar or the black box any recommendations? I like jfet low gain pedals. Ideally id like 1 more pedal to run in parallel with the looking glass.
The gemstone with the highest refractive index concave faceted would probably look awesome and I'd really like to see it
