        Bought a pre-busted Loar archtop for next to nothing, to practice various things.

        Mistakes were made 😅

          The finish is so thick, its a coat of plastic. Back didn’t want to release from the neck block and tail block, cracking the thick finish

          Neck was already cracked, trying to torque the back off made the headstock fall off 🤦‍♂️

            Rip and Tear! Have fun, break and fix. Should be able to repair that finish with super glue, level and buff. Great practice piece.

              @patreon_94549210 For sure! I *might* even make a new backplate, as I’m planning on making my first archtop soon and might be good practice
