I can't play properly at all these days, right arm doesn't work same as before. My Ovation and Takamine are too big to get arm over so I got a small "Sigma" travel guitar to try on. I went and dropped my 1868 and now it has a crack in the laquer! is this an easy fix or a big job? Cheers for advice Craig Love O Fair Posted 2016-08-25 8:48 AM (#528388 - in reply to #528386) Subject: Re: Hello again ....been away Joined: February 2016 Posts: 1802 Location: When?? Hi Craig.. glad to hear you're recovering. There are some total crack-repair-genius-types out there, so I send best wishes that the same recovery will apply to your 1868. martinez Posted 2016-08-25 9:53 AM (#528390 - in reply to #528386) Subject: Re: Hello again ....been away Joined: September 2011 Posts: 260 Location: Spain Thanks man! martinez Posted 2016-08-25 9:55 AM (#528392 - in reply to #528386) Subject: Re: Hello again ....been away Joined: September 2011 Posts: 260 Location: Spain It's actually not just in the lacquer......looked through the back and can see straight through.......
