Crack on back :: 2006 Tacoma RM6C [4.6 lbs]

The center seam on the back was open and needed to be glued and supported.  Most acoustic guitars have an internal "seam strip" that reinforces the glue joint of the two halves of the back.  This model does not so I needed to fit and install a couple to keep the joint closed.  One ran from the neck block to the first brace and another between the first and second back braces.  Note that Tacoma uses an upper bout soundhole so these repairs were a little more difficult to pull off versus a traditional soundhole.

Wow, it's super cool to have one of my guitars back in the shop!  I love seeing how they hold up in the real world.  This came in for a bridge re-glue and I ended up repairing a small hairline crack in the back as well.  I love how it's voice has opened up and the finish is wearing very nicely.  Signs of wear are always good as it shows the guitar is being played.  This will be heading back to it's home down in the sweet sunny south.
