Generally a glued bond is stronger than the wood around it. I am sure you'll be OK.deeaa wrote: ↑Sat Jun 15, 2024 12:15 am While preparing to refinish a guitar of mine I noticed it had cracked badly at the body both sides of the neck.
I don't know whether it'll be fine really...I drilled 4 small holes deep in the crack and injected Titebond, and clamped it. Soon will open and see if it worked.
It may have been cracked for a while already...the strings on it pulls the crack shut so I only noticed it when I was spraying on the first layer of base coat filler.

Yeah, seems solid now. Just gave it the first coat of filler spray, then final sand and final filler and tomorrow I can color it - white this time.

Did some work on the Flame guitar this week. Once the tuner was unstuck, I changed the strings and adjusted the trem springs to have more tension -- with three springs, they barely stayed in if I pulled up on the bar.
I also move the ground wire from one of the spring hooks to the body of the spring claw. Worst soldering job ever! I sanded the spot and used flux, but it gave me trouble right up until it didn't.
I also put in black pickup ring screws, and my usual stainless neck screws.
Remaining items: the pot moves a little bit, so I need to sort that, and the intonation is so far off it's a couple of streets south of where I live. Always a treat on a Floyd, but will hopefully be worth the work. She stays in tune perfectly.
And I might be developing a taste for having the last 4 frets scalloped. It makes everything easier in the weedly section of the board..

Made this one quick.
Small amps were at one time intercoms. Got 3 of them to mod. Widow maker style with a isolation transformer on the back. 3 watts on a good day, 4" speaker inside. Gutted and made into a Magnatone . I bet these will sell to harmonica players.
