Lacquer cracks

Schnozz

Pretty much every bolt-on Tokai I've seen has laquer cracks around the neck pocket.

Lots of Yamaha acoustics I've played have lacquer cracks down them, including 70s Precisions.

And then you have your Gibson Goldtops with the same around the control layout.

Are there any long term risks to these?

Almost every bolt on I've ever had has had them around the neck pocket with the exception of my american professional tele. 

From what I know they don't pose much of an issue structurally, providing they are just in the top coat. 

Gibsons will crack everywhere anyway, and they do fine. Well except when the headstock falls off.    

Maybe take care not to get moisture/polish under it I guess but not much else can be done.

Never worried me unless the wood is also cracked. Even then it would have to be one hell of a crack to bother me.
