Slingy

Thanks again, got it all glued up and clamped down for the night. Not worried about getting it perfect, just playable. Looks like there's going to be a little ridge from the break at the base of the headstock. I should have clamped it down and across too, to pull it in tighter.

Thanks for the tips. I went ahead and removed the tuning machines and pegs because I dont want to get glue on the moving parts. Plus I'm not sure how to get glue into the area where the crack is thin. It seems it will be much easier with the hardware off. I know we sell three kinds of Titebond so I'll pick some up tommorow at work and some c clamps. This is as far as I can pull on it or it feels like I will crack it further.

Does is close up completely if you apply pressure to the crack?

Yes, no pieces are broken off, and when pressure is applied you can barely see it it.

Hello, first post here. I was refered here by another forum member for my repair question. Looks like a great resource so I'll be reading over the forums a bit too.

Anyways the guitar is a store bought classical that suffered a crack at the base of the headstock and travels along the center where the tuning posts are. It is all the way through up to the second post, and continues up to the third post where it is not all the way across. Here is a photo of the headstock and one of the guitar.

Anyways I'm new to repair but I'd like to do this myself, I work at a hardware store so I have access to whatever clamps, glue, and tools I may need.

Thanks.
