Somewhere on the surface of the planet is a fret crowning file winging its way to me, to join the new strings and a nice notched straight edge already here.

To treat the only guitar in my life. The guitar that just took a dive and decapitated itself.

Arsebiscuits.

Ooof. Was it a Gibson? Known for shedding heads at the slightest knock.

Couple of gorrillas maybe.

And some bits of tree to backstrap it.

Its cracked at the scarf and doesn't too to glued there. But the veneer held it on why has led to a lot of already bent spinter.

Got it to "tap it with a hammer and it should go home."

Figuring out a clamp arrangement
