Repair - Taylor 214CE acoustic electric guitar Part 1

This guitar was brought to me crushed, the top completely pushed into the box. The damage was total and the only fortunate thing was that the neck avoided stress. I popped out the top some before I took photos, but there are 4 prominent cracks running the entire length of the top and the bracing had of course come loose. The finished photos are in part 2...

Replacing dislodged bracing
