Dried out fingerboard brace re-glue :: 2007 Pavan TP-30
This nasty fingerboard extension crack took out the fingerboard brace in it's wake. Here the brace is being re-glued before fitting and gluing in two reinforcement cleats.

This Gibson jumbo was dried out and needed a few top cracks repaired. Here's another photo from a couple years ago when it was in for a tailblock crack.

2014 Gibson Midtown Custom [8.7 lbs] :: setup
The Midtown is a chambered small body 335 with a flat top and back. This was in for a setup and strung with Ernie Ball Slinky Cobalt 10's.
Failing bridge :: Bedell TB-28-G
Here's a bridge that should be fairly easy to remove. Just need to break the remaining bond, clean, fit and re-glue. I was told that some superglue was used at one point so it should be interesting once the bridge is pulled.
Top cracks :: 2004 Gibson SJ-200
This Gibson jumbo is showing the effects of this cold dry winter with a few top cracks. A portion of the center seam was open and needed to be humidified, glued and cleated. Along both sides of the fingerboard extension are top cracks running clean into the sound hole. These cracks were glued and reinforced with a single large cross-grain patch that follows just inside of the sound hole and butts up against the fingerboard brace.
