aleksi -> RE: cracked top (has this happened to you?) (Mar. 2 2009 12:46:14)

thanks for the reply and insight anders. The crack goes underneath the tap plate, maybe 1/3 of the plastics length. I think the dark line from the superglue doesnt matter. Anyway the grains are also dark, and then its even more personal. I have to think it as a customised guitar. The thing is that just before posting these, I left it to one local luthier and he said he can repair it. I didnt ask too much how he will do it, but I just left her I trusted that he knows what hes doing. One thing he said that he will put some little pads under the crack. I asked about effects for the sound and he replyed that it doesnt do anything because of the position of the crack. I dont know...maybe so... I just hope, he will be patient and take the tap plate of to glue the whole crack. How about the polishing? How big of a job it is? I paid like 800e for the guitar and I would like that it would be repaired properly. Its not my ideal guitar, but its my first "real" guitar and first that I have bought. My luthier said that repairing the crack would only cost some 25e but I'm not sure what he eventually will be able to do with such a price. Well, it will be ready tomorrow, so if Im not satisfyed with the result I think I have to ask him to put more effort to it. Im little bit worried.
