Failed bridge reset repair

If you have one break, you want it to break like this. Doing a burst over the crack saves a bunch $$ and it matches the rest of the guitar anyway

Custom CJW made in Alaska with a cranked, broken, and busted truss rod brought back to life. Still whittling here in my cave, holler if you need me.

Howdy everyone, I've been waiting for a more graceful exit but this will have to do. The good news is I've been slowly getting my home shop up to running so that I can move all my repair shop operations and get out of this unnecessary overhead on Rogers Ave. I've made lots of friends since I opened Cousins Music in 2020 and a public store-front is no longer needed. This will free me up to continue to do what I love; building and repairing guitars. The bad news is I have no room for shows or to record bands so that portion of the shop will cease. I'm really grateful to all the bands and patrons that made time to see a show, play, or make a record here. I'll also say that if you ever DID play and want a memento, please come and take some of the flyers or art off the wall as I will no longer have a spot to display it! Pictures coming soon of the new digs. This is not goodbye so much as see you later.
