Bryan Hibler Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 So I'm trying to bring this old Gibson back to life and it's very dried out. The top braces are all loose and when gluing them, I found a crack in the top. It's very tight and I can feel it flex. Should I run glue in it and just let it set or cleat it? Also, I'm humidifying the guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adformento Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 By a rare coincidence I too have just purchased a 1955 Gibson LG1 that has some bad crack repairs I'm touching up. I am removing the glue that was used as filler and replacing it with real wood. You can use veneer or saxophone reeds just as long as you don't use filler!... On a vintage guitar like this real wood is the only way to go. If you need more help you can contact the Stewart Macdonald help desk. -Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
