Archtop Repair: Fixing an Inaccessible Split
Channel: Paul Mero Junkpile Guitars
Date: 2021-03-27

The repair of a running crack on an archtop requires a nearly impossible to place cleat on the inside of the guitar.  A 10 string, a magnet and some wood scraps and an old tuner and you are good to go.  Meet the #californiajunkpile.
