I hope I am doing this right because I am totally new to this and am in my 80's and not very computer savy!  I have been
playing a guitar since about 8 or 10.
My Larrivee has developed a couple long cracks on the top.  How do we arrive at the cost
of the repairs and what information would youall need?  Also, we are about an hour
from Omaha, Nebraska and wondering if the repairs could be done there.  I am a little
nervous about sending my guitar so far away.
Thank you.  I hope youall have a very Blessed and Merry Christmas.  dhp

Are they wood cracks or just finish cracks

Hi, Larrivee doesn't do repairs unless they are warranty repairs (which cracks rarely are). I would recommend finding acoustic guitar techs ("luthiers") in Omaha and asking what they estimate it will cost. To prevent the guitar from cracking again in the future, it would be good to read up on acoustic guitar humidification. Cracks are usually the result of the humidity dropping quickly, and the wood cracking because of the rapid movement from dehydration ("rapid" being a sliver of a distance over several days).

It's always nice to read about a person who has been playing guitar for most of their life.

I typed in "Guitar Repair in Omaha" and a list of repair shops, their locations and links to their  websites appeared. Any reputable repair shop will want to see your guitar in order to give you an estimate.

My guitars also stay in their cases in a room with a humidifier and the relative humidity level between 45 and 50%.
