Humidity top cracks :: 1997 Santa Cruz 000

View fullsize

A late 90's 000 from my alma mater, Santa Cruz Guitar Company.  I've always loved their 000's and wish I would have built one when I was working there.  This one has been in the shop before needing a neck reset and top crack repair.  Now it's in for a new nut and some more structural TLC.  I already addressed a few loose back braces.  Here I'm repairing one of two top cracks running from the bridge to the tail using TJ Thompson's cleating method.  Stay tuned for the other top crack repair.

Weird control cavity crack :: 1992 Gibson Les Paul.

This is an odd crack I found when removing a control cover on a Les Paul in for a broken headstock.  I had thought the screw was just stripped out but with the cover off the real issue was obvious.  Glue and clamp.
