dork lard

you're making me internet-paranoid with all those french references. Like, how do users know where I'm posting from, I haven't put that information anywhere (!) 😅 Is Harmonycentral really Big brother ? Thanks for the suggestions. It was 500ish $ new, and it's still brand new, save those recent hits.

I did one repair before and it was a similar crack around the bottom of the guitar, but it was black so much easier to do. This here is bright and a natural finish, so much tougher. And, oh yes, I've got to repair this. No way I can keep it this way.

It's a Jackson FSR JS42 Dinky Ziricote Natural.

Dork lard lol, yes very dumb. Yeah I suspected sth like that. To be clear: you mean actually remove all of the "debris"/broken shards, take them off completely, when you say "strip" ? Like with some sort of a plier type tool ? I was thinking I'd remove/clean up the parts, and then add some sort of resin, and then sand and then try to figure out a way to get that natural finish color paint and apply to just that area. Or I might just add that bit of resin on top directly, without removing the broken shard bits, sand and paint over ?
