Hi all,
New here, dived right in though and have an RC1 sitting in the shed waiting for the weekend. Also have a GR1 on the way, not sure which one to start on first 😊

Welcome to the crazy ranch
Hope you are enjoying Canberra's delightful weather.. I lived there for 15 years, beautiful city but the most crappest weather!!!
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
It will be slow going, I spend half my work time in NZ, I must be a glotton for crappy weather. Was going to do a clear/stain finish on the RC1 but the patch of filler probably won't take the Dingo finish too well. Might have to build the big girl with the thin skin and go solid on the RC.

Hi, Thanks everyone. Whelp, the GR arrived today.Beeeutiful. Has some laminate missing/lifting fromthe neck pocket but other than that awesome. Will try and upload pics in a bit. Thinking it's ok.
What do y'all think, fixable?

get some glue in behind the lifted laminate and put a clamp with one end on the fix and the other in the pup route area to put direct pressure on it.
Alternatively to a clamp, wrap tape around from the top bout , over the repair and into the neck pocket.
Just find a way to put decent, even pressure over the area until the glue dries (titebond is perfect).
You may need to sand any over spill from the repair if it gets onto the top surface - if you do, go easy the timber can be thin
