Ha! I’ve been stringing and unstringing this thing for a few weeks, and the break near the headstock opened up at the start - now for the first time I felt a sharp edge in the other break, the one at the other end of the neck on the . . . heel, is it called?
😳
.
It didn’t open up yet, the action hasn’t risen. But my fingernail did go right in on one side.
.
Hoping to nip that in the bud, I unstrung it again, scratched that crack open a little, gave it some warm water and then filled it with super glue and clamped it. I know it’s super glue, but I still plan to leave the clamp on overnight, as someone said, that’s the most important thing.
.
I went down to Long and McQuade for a warmer set of strings. The thing is so bright I can’t stand it. I suppose I’ll try to tweak the nut again before I put them on and see if the break stays put. And the repair needs lacquer, so the glue can dry for another day or two as well.

So close!!! LOL 🤣
