My solid top guitar has split, how do I fix it?
My Yamaha CG-151S has developed a crack behind the bridge. The guitar is only worth about $250 but is really sweet sounding and I don't have the funds to replace it. Can I have it fixed without spending too much? This might not be the proper place to ask this question, but I don't know where else to go on here. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
It can be fixed if the Luthier knows what he is doing. Usually, we put a very thin brace under the harmony table-top. Glue it in place, and add a light coat of lacquer, buff it, and it won't show. If you eave it like that, eventually, with the vibration, you will start hearing buzzing and it wilol get annoying.
Not a big job but you can figure the cost around $75. Is it worth? Do you like that guitar ? Than get it fixed. Its cheaper than spending another $300.
