Re: crack repair

I see that he said "most mentioned" so it doesn't necessarily mean this repairer even post on this forum...?

By the way I learned this too. I bought from several people who were supposedly some of the most reputable on this and/or other forums. A couple of times the quality was very disapointing. I learned that no matter what you read about someone, you can never really know how reviewers are able to judge the quality.

Re the crack, the cosmetics is sometimes the longest part of the repair. If it's really a lot of glue you can start with a file, but really try not to file lower than the body, it will be hard to remove that. Then change to gradually finer files or sand paper. You just have to try to make it blend with the wood around it as much as you can. That is unless you have some tools and can make it easier/faster (for example I use a micromotor for part of this).
