So well. I bought a b-grade guitar kit with a crack. The crack between the pickup cavities is deep and goes right trough but it's very fine. The crack under the bridge is not that deep and it stops after the hole for the bridge posts.
I still bought the kit because I liked the double binding (front and back as well as the headstock), but I'm actually pretty shocked about the quality of it. The seller says he has a good reputation in Germany and many people like his kits but so far, it's pretty underwhelming to me. A lot of ugly glue marks everywhere. My sub 100€ kit from eBay looked miles better from the start.
But ok. Let's see.
My idea was to fill the crack with liquid superglue (CA) and then sand it level (carefully). Then maybe some wood filler.
I actually planned to stain the guitar black, but with visible grain. I didn't plan on making a "pretty" guitar, because I really don't fancy these traditional LPs. But now the question is, is the crack going to be a problem or is it just cosmetic? I mean it's not a hollow body and it does not go right through the back, so I hope it's going to work out. But what do you guys think?
