Cracked Neck


Recommended Posts

New to Gibson guitars.  A friend has asked me to repair her Gibson acoustic with a cracked neck.  Not being familiar with Gibsons, I think its a 1969.

I have a plan on gluing and reinforcing the neck.  But my question(s) are on finish.  I will have to do some sanding and will need to refinish

I'm not trying to make the finish disappear, so it doesn't have to match perfectly. The neck is already a slightly different color than the body so I'll probably want to refinish the entire neck.

I was planning on using some type of stain to match and then clear satin lacquer.  Does that make sense?

I'll probably have more questions once I get going but for now this is enough.

Thanks in advance.
