A smashed and broken guitar being restored, glued and clamped number 3958


A guitar hook failed, a guitar fell tot he floor and the guitar front parted from the main body. All was lost and the guitar destined for the scrap heap. Removing the strings to ease the tension on the guitar top I glued top to base and clamped it for forty eight hours. Polished and with new strings, the owner exclaimed that it looked better than it had done before the accident.
