Repair advice

I was recently gifted a Peavy t-60 that had a crack in the body. When I got it home to clean it up and look at the damage, it split, very cleanly where I observed the crack. It looks like the glue simply failed, likely due to the guitar being stored poorly. The guitar itself plays great, even with the old strings on it.

I’d like to repair it myself or have it worked on as I feel it’s definitely worth fixing. I’m handy with woodworking, but no expert. It seems like a straightforward repair, remove the neck, glue and clamp, but I am nonprofessional so I came here for a little insight.

First Gibson

I realize this isn’t anything particularly special or rare, but I’ve wanted a Les Paul Studio for some time. Having recently been diagnosed with GAS (guitar acquisition syndrome), I felt as if now was the time to pick one up since I’ll be quitting cold turkey soon. 2021 Tangerine sunburst. How’d I do?

Cracks in neck

Has this guitar 30+ years and I never noticed this until I b was replacing the strings today (I last changed them 6 months ago). Should I be concerned?

NGD!

Picked this up off marketplace for a sweet deal. My first tele. It plays like a dream and I think it’s beautiful. I’m a lurker not a poster, but I was so excited about this one. Don’t have a lot of people in my life that appreciate guitars, so I thought is share with you! It’s a Special Edition Custom Telecaster® FMT HH.
