    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!

    Good tips! Will have to try it out sometime, especially if I need longer working time on the glue.

    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

    Just re-watched, I think it was a plectrum holder. Glad the video was helpful for you :-)

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

    Well, you could do it with weights. As you saw in the video below clamped each end of the guitar to the bench, but you could do the same thing with weights. Another option is crank straps or maybe rubber bungee rope//cord.

    I don’t think so no, the crack closed up back to the way it was before.
