Very interesting. I was really worried that I had made a lot of work for myself or effected the integrity of the neck.

Yeah, this guitar has no sentimental value and didn’t cost me that much, so I’m not too concerned. It’s a good learning experience and I’m enjoying the process and learning about it. So I really do appreciate your input.

Thanks for your reply. https://drive.google.com/file/d/15zk-uphifzRiPSgl69eQG-5cH2cbTo-O/view?usp=drivesdk here is another photo to show a more complete story of what’s going on. I tried to add the photo with the URL but it didn’t work, so I appreciate you adding it to your reply It was a challenge getting the fretboard off, the glue just didn’t seem to soften and as you can see things went badly at near the sound hole. Could I use a wood filler to build it up? Or would that be unadvisable?

Thanks for the help. I managed to add a link to my Google drive with a photo. I can add more if needed.

Hey. Let me see if this works. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZF9u4UvpoId9EKwb7fvzL6MvvgUKgEci/view?usp=drivesdk

Hey I’m replacing a truss rod in an 1974 Yamaha acoustic guitar and during the removal of the fretboard I had some tear out from the body of the guitar. I would love some suggestions on how to deal with it. It’s maybe a couple of inches squared in size. thanks
