Adam made this guitar some time ago on our build your own acoustic course but unfortunately he had a problem with the back – it split. This is usually caused by the wood drying out too much. I have written an article about splits and cracks and how to avoid them which is a must read – If you have an expensive handmade guitar you really need to know how to look after it!
It took three visits to fix it. First he came back to make a new back. The next time he took the old back off and glued the new one on, then he came back recently to put it back together again. While we were at it he decided to upgrade the finish to a full gloss which really brought out the colour of the wood and will help to protect it much better in future.
