Ibanez Acoustic

The crack in the heal looked to be just in the finish at first but after a flex test its a crack in the wood. With not a lot of flexibility it was hard to get glue to pernitrate the crack. I thinned down some glue with water and used a syringe to push the glue into the crack.

Before i cleaned up the glue squeeze out.

Sanding the leftover glue area to clean it up.

Before I polished it back to a gloss finish. The customer didn't care about the looks of the instrument they just wanted it playable for there kids.

Polished and cleaned the fretboard.

This is how much i wanted to remove from the saddle to get the strings to sit at a reasonable height.

marking the line on the saddle to sand to.

Sanding the saddle.

Fixing the nut slot depth.

Got the action to 4/64ths across the board. For a cheap starter guitar this one set up pretty nice with a little work and know how.
