First Backstrap repair

[Dean]

Great work Bryan!
I too have my first backstrap repair lined up, on demo-stamped SG – so I want to test the same approach.

Any photos of the before and mid for inspiration?!

Thanks

I’m terrible about taking process pics, but Ian has a YouTube video about it and we followed his process exactly. I used one of Stewmac’s mahogany neck bland for the wood. All rattle can. I used lacquer and matching grain filler from Oxford (Canada) and it was great. Really nice colors and the lacquer sprays smooth.

Thanks. This was the 2nd break on this one. I glued it 5 years ago when it was just a hairline crack but either I didn’t get enough glue in there or it fell again and broke in the same place. The crack was opened up again. This was the best repair option this time. It was kinda fun. 🙂
