Surely it cant be that difficult to repair by setting up some clamps, squeezing some glue in and then leaving it for a couple of days.

Has anyone here done this type of repair themselves?

If you think of it logically... its just a crack in a piece of wood that needs gluing.. lets forget its worth $1000!! :rolleyes:

I have used a product called "Tite Bond". you can pick it up in any hardware store, it was recommended to me by my piano tuner who also does guitar repair. It works great, follow the instructions on container. use good amount and clamp it for 30 to 40 minutes then take the clamp off and let it cure for 24 hours. I personally let mine cure for a few days then I sanded it repainted it strung it up and it holds great. If you really want to make sure you can drill a couple 1/8 inch holes perpendicular to the break and use some hard wood dowel with the same glue to glue them in. make sure the woodgrain in the dowel is crossways to the angle of the break. good luck
