Archtop necks are tougher to steam out than flat tops. I recently did a Hofner bass and there was some slight separation of the laminated and stacked heel.

The back was fine, the tenon had split a bit but glued back up well...nothing too pretty in there
There was a "truss" rod of sorts in there also!
