Thanks for the tip! Maybe I'll wrap it up in rubber bands and put it under the mattress like a baseball glove. 😂

I'll get as much wood glue in there as I can then clamp it down.

Rescued from the bowels of hell, this 1987 BB1600. Made in Taiwan. Cream white finish. Gold hardware. Got it for $150 from a guy who cleans out storage units for a living. Everything is original. The truss rod turns in both directions. The only major issue is that the fretboard has separated...
