probably just a clear crack from overtightening the screw on the tuner.

Is it the original hardware?

My old Jackson uses tiny tuner screws. Replacing them with "regular size" Schaller/Jackson tuner screws without re-drilling could easily cause a finish crack like that. It doesn't seem a likely place for a "stress crack" since there's no real stress on the neck there in any direction that would cause that crack that I can think of.

Its only overtightened screw.Nothing to worry about
