Acoustic with major crack damage
customer dropped a heavy weight on his guitar major structural damage Stabilizing top damage reinforcing cleats & reglued bracing finishing is always the hardest part… I used a precatalyzed lacquer made by Mohawk as a top coat. It blended well with the original finish… The damage is still visible, but the customer was very happy with the outcome and gave us a very positive review. The guitar is structurally sound and will provided years of service.
