Advice needed on crack! Started to tap in the first bridge peg and noticed a hairline crack appear across the grain! So I stopped, pulled the peg out and took the attached pic. You can see a hairline on the top bit it only goes down about 1mm so managed to stop before i did anything too major.
I did check the hole size by putting the peg in by hand and it seemed tight but started to go in so thought it would be ok to tap in, obviously not.
I was thinking of sanding a little just to make the hole slightly larger...but how to handle the crack and stop it from getting worse, especially if I'm bending the bridge back and forth when playing over time??
I also have a round file that i can use just to get a little extra room.
Thoughts?
