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
Inside view of biggest crack
Laying out old braces and new cleats to repair cracks
Gluing and magnet fun
Lots of clamping once its all in place
