Laminated Neck Split
Does anybody have any advice on where to start on repairing this crack. I have some ideas about what I would do but its pretty intense and am hoping someone might have some simpler advice.
This is a friends guitar that is THE guitar and they’re on a budget. So I’m trying to help them out. I don’t currently have access to the instrument.

Does it get worse when you tighten the truss rod ?

Don’t have access to it right now unfortunately so I’m not sure.

Once you get ahold of it we can take a look together on the loothalong if you like.

Is it just separation of the laminates? Or is any wood actually broken? CA glue would put it back together either way, but if it’s deep enough the glue might get in to the truss rod. Who knows, you might get lucky, it might just be a crack in the finish where the laminated pieces did not move the same way from a change in humidity.
