Silver Tiffany & Co Christmas Tree Ornament

Repairing Conversion of a fretless guitar ...

Here is an acoustic guitar with head start. apparently suffered a stroke, or could also be a design fault.

first thing I did is scrape it all remnants of old glue, leaving surfaces clean and ready for re-gluing.


complication here comes ...

to present both sides realize that I did not join in the central part leaving a gap of 1mm (approx). so apparently it was built and the hole was obscured by the gloss.

what I did is to prepare a piece of cedar, similar to that of this guitar, which supplement this gap allowing a perfect union of two surfaces.


and now with a good union as gluing and pressing.

sieguiente day you remove the press.


now is repair small cracks and sand

and now the completion

and good riddance finished work


this was all for now.
