ive got an acoustic guitar that’s got two cracks on the face. I took it to Fretworks in the mall and they said they don’t work on acoustics.
from what I’ve seen, this is a simple job. humidify, and glue the cracks, and glue on a couple cleats. anyone around that can do this? I can pay.
I mean, there everywhere in imperial county. but I’ve yet to find a restaurant in Yuma that makes them. whenever I’m in El Centro, I make it a point to get one. I think they’d sell in yuma quite well.
unless someone does make them here. in which case tell me where. cuz I got a hankerin. I’m not talking about no little Mickey Mouse wannabe special quesadilla either. you can’t half ass it with these.
I have an Alvarez ABTOCE 8 String Baritone Acoustic Guitar that has two cracks on the face. I took it to my local guitar shop who has worked on other electrics for me. They said they don’t work on acoustics. There’s no other techs in my town. Going out of town to get this fixed is not an option.
is this something I can work on myself? I’ve heard of glue, cleats, humidifiers… this is a sub-$1000 guitar, so if it’s not cost effective to repair, then I’d end up buying another.
Any recommendations? I dont have any guitar tools or supplies. But I can order things that I’d need. Thoughts?
my 8 string baritone has two cracks on the body. is this fixable? or is my time with it limited?
im sure the answer is take it to a guitar fixer guy. but does this look catastrophic?
