    Thanks for the tips. Upon closer inspection I've noticed that the top geometry is badly deformed, probably from dryness. I've put the guitar in a case with several humidifiers. I'll try to close the crack with some hide glue once it hopefully shrinks.

    Hi all, Today I noticed a split in the lower bout of my 6-years-old OM acoustic. The split runs parallel to and about 1" to the right of the center seam of the soundboard, from the bottom of the bridge to about 3/8" from the binding. I've linked to a photo at the bottom of the post. I am not sure how or when this happened, as I am not aware of the guitar suffering any trauma recently (although it has been through many moves, flights, etc.). This was the first guitar I built, and has sentimental value for other reasons. It is built imperfectly, but I had assumed that the top bracing errs on the side of caution. Does anyone have any recommendations for repair, and what should I do in the meantime? Reduce string tension? Should I play it? Thanks, Gavin https://docs.google.com/document/d/1asQdOwfkVWUdHQY3wzX_jlAyGWu_GRNvOAnvUKQtqS8/edit
