View fullsize

This Alvarez had a Planet Waves soundhole plug installed to help block feedback when plugged in.  Upon removing the plug I found that there was a broken piece of the soundhole edge holding on by a thread.  A little hot hide glue, a piece of plexiglass and a modified brace jack were used in the repair.
