Hi X

Looks like a mayor problem. The back seems to be out of it's doming. It looks like the back is pressed inwards behind the foot, so probably the first lateral brace is also spoiled. The guitar must be inspected from the inside in order to see the extend of destruction, but it does not look like a repair that could be done by youself. I recommed to bring the guitar for a check up to a professional.

regards

Armando

I had to post the photos separately because you can only include one photo per post. Armando, the inside looks like this:

Hi x

The guitar is not built in the spanish style. The spanish foot is missing and therefore the area affected is less strong than it is the case with a spanish guitar. However, there is serious damage in the back, so the back needs to be pressed back into it's original backdome. This is almost impossible without removing the back. Cheaper guitars are often glued with syntetical glues which do not allow disassembly, so it could be tricky to remove the back. Finally the back must be revarnished and therefore the original varnish must be removed. The repair could easily become costly so it depends on the value of the guitar, whether or not it's worthwile doing a professional repair on it.

regards

Armando
