Loose Neck Joint & Bridge Fit :: 1960's Aria Barney Kessel [5.7 lbs]

The bridge foot needed to be refit along with a loose neck block re-glued to the top.  The neck pickup was also freaking out, causing feedback and out-of-phase output issues.  I found that the metal cover was split and there was a small section that was vibrating and inducing signal into the pickup.  To fix this I ended up lightly hot gluing the broken cover to keep it in place.  A bone new nut finished off the setup.

Here is a brutal fingerboard extension top crack on a classical. I sealed up the sound hole to internally humidify the guitar for a few days to see if the crack will close tight enough to glue. If not, then I'll be fitting a splint along with re-gluing a loose brace and adding reinforcements.
