Looks like the rosette is the only thing holding it together! Should I bid?

There is a great article in the new GuitarMaker outlining the same repair, only to a 12 stringer. |

Not that Frank couldnt have fixed it even it was worse, but notice how the break line is right down the edge of the pearl inlay - very convenient - the only spot to see the repair otherwise is the spruce around the rosette rings. Well done Master. A friend who owns a shop has a selmer copy large D hole - and the top has split similarly, but on the bridge side - and I swear the rosette is all that holds the whole top together !!! To fix that guitar you will need to get a spreader brace inside and push the neck block back to where it belongs, then fix the cracking sections. |
