NighthawkChris Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 (edited) If it’s loose and can vibrate when played would be what I’d worry about with this one in terms of sound. But I’ll bet that guitar wasn’t cheap so depends what you’re willing to live with given an exchange or return is on the table for you. In all reality the guitar isn’t going to completely fall apart because of that. Good looking over on the acoustic though. Edited October 14, 2022 by NighthawkChris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrichard27 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 If you bought it brand new, just return it.  Is it the end of the world? Probably not...  But, did you just pay a heck of a lot of money for a guitar built by the Gibson Custom Shop that is supposedly "...the pinnacle of craftsmanship, quality and sound excellence" - You should not have to "settle" for any imperfections.  Plus, if that thing starts buzzing away after the return period is over, you are really gonna be mad..  Just what I would do.....  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J45fan Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) That's not really a problem. If you love the guitar and you don't want to return it, just have it glued. It is not really a structural issue, just a small split from the spruce brace. I think a luthier will tell you the same. You could glue it as well, but you might make a mess. A good luthier will glue it back and you won't see a thing. Edited October 18, 2022 by J45fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
