FixingGuitars

The goal of a REPAIR is not to make damage invisible. The only way to eliminate this type of catastrophic damage would be to replace the top. However it can be repaired so it is structurally sound, unlikely to worsen, and be what it can be aesthetically. In other words it can be repaired. This required stabilizing the crushed top, making new purfling (the dark and light lines around the edge), splicing in the White plastic binding replacing the side chipped rosewood, and a lot of coloring and refinishing. It's not done but it'd getting closer.
