- If I put a patch under the crack in the top, what type of wood, how thin, cross-grain?
- For the crack at the side and back, would it be worth putting a few gusset pieces in the corner to prevent it from re-opening?
I always thought it was a bit odd that there is almost no reenforcement at the joint of the back and sides of the Baby. |
Theglue is correct, what the factories use these days.
But while i could guess the other answers, I am not a woodworker nor a repairman. Maybe Frank ford would have the answers on frets.com
