Volute Headstock Repair
I tend to use splines only when it is a 2nd break or if the break is on the scarf joint.
This was a first break on a Tanglewood acoustic guitar. I used hot hide glue and did some minimal touch up with cyanoacrylate and a french polish so that the break area was smooth to the touch.

August 2012
4534 Nicollet August 8th, 2012.
Here's a Martin that was on one of my benches last week. Crack repair, partial re-fret, new bone nut &
saddle plus a K & K Pure Mini pickup. I use the sound hole pickup
(made by Seymour Duncan) to set intonation. The K & K pickup is installed
inside the instrument at the bridge plate and goes out through an end button jack. Pretty nice.
I've started carrying both K & K and L.R. Baggs pickups for acoustic instruments. Check them out if you are not familiar:
