    Nice work! I've repaired a few of these over the past year. I did mostly the same as you except I actually used a syringe to inject the glue deeper and it worked very well. The syringe was very inexpensive and I was able to flush the syringe clean to reuse over and over. I also placed a clamp directly over the cracked area. I think doing so placed more compression in the area of the crack. Nonetheless, your method was a success and it's was good of you to share.

    Man this gives me so much hope, I have an old 60's Yamaha red label acoustic with just about this same sort of repair needed but I'm gonna have a lutheir do it. A good tip that I've found for wood glue is to thin it out with water not to the point that it's runny but enough to let it seep a little easier down into the wood. I've repaired a 70's LP JR copy with thinned wood glue and it actually worked quite well. Thanks for the vid!

    Use your finger to work the glue down in, as you rub over it, it’ll go in, just add more glue as needed.

    Thanks for the video, just did the same on my steel string acoustic, used the same glue, very confident it should hold up. Just curious, what was that thing on the bottom of the guitar next to the heel, looked like an unusual place for any installation, has me scratching my head?? Cheers

    Curious as to how this has held up over the past few months.
