1. A Body Crack in a solid-body electric guitar is not a common problem. This strat developed a body crack at the bridge.
2. A Closer Look shows the effects of years of string tension and whammy bar dive-bombs at this vulnerable part of the guitar. To repair this, I ll cut away the damaged alder and patch in a custom fit plug.
3. Removing the Damage starts with a hole saw on the shop s drill press. The pilot bit of the hole saw follows the stud hole. I ll stop cutting after I get about 1/4 beneath the surface of the top.
4. Cleaning Out the Waste with a razor sharp chisel and a mallet.
5. Ready for a Forstner. My drill bit of choice for this job is a forstner bit. These bits cut really clean and leave a flat-bottomed hole. The only problem is they could be thrown off and damage the surrounding finish since the hole for the stud would interfere with the bit s piloting tip. Drilling 1/4 down with a hole saw will prevent the forstner from wandering.
6. Removing the Damaged Wood Cont. This forstner bit chucked into the drill press is doing a fine job of cutting a clean, flat-bottomed hole.
7. Preparing the AlderPlug Blank starts with a jointer plane to ensure flatness. Next, I ll drill a very shallow hole in the plug blank with the same forstner bit I used on the body. Then I ll bandsaw just outside of the forstner cut line.
8. Shapping the Plug on the disc sander is pretty quick. I m sanding the plug down about 1/16 outside the forstner layout line I drilled into the top of the plug. The bed of the disc sander is andgled to 3 degrees which is giving the plug a taper.
9. Test Fitting the Plug. Since my plug is actually a cone, not a cylinder, the plug seats firmly part way down. I m marking the plug where it contacts the top of the hole.
10. Final Shaping of the Plug is done with the bed of the disc sander set to 0 90 degrees to the sanding disc. I ll carefully turn the plug against the disc until my pencil line just starts to evenly disappear. This way I know that I ll have a good, tight fit for my glue joint.
11. Gluing the Plug with hot hide glue will give me a very strong glue joint with easy water clean up. I ll leave the plug clamped for 24 hours.
12. Removing the Excess Plug is done in 2 phases. The first is with the forstner bit.
13. Removing the Excess Plug Cont. A razor sharp chisel gets rid of the waste to about 1/32 shy of the guitar top.
14. Trimming the Plug Flush with a smoothing plane.
15. More Chisel Work removes the excess plug in the electronics and trem cavities.
16. The Trimmed Plug. Next I ll drill out the plug for the trem stud. At this point I would do finish work if that s what the customer wanted. To save some time and money, this guitar s owner opted for a simple seal coat of shellac with no attempt to hide the repair with a polyurethane finish touchup.
17. The Repair is Visually Subtle since most of the plug is covered by the bridge and the pickguard.
18. A Strong Repair This fix should last as long as this guitar is in service.
