This one on ebay apparently took quite a spill, what a shame. Would side braces have made any difference??

I've heard tell of the crack epidemic we have in this country.

This is really sad. I would be sick if this happened to any of my guitars. Knock on wood! :ph34r:

So is this repairable a price that would justify taking a flyer on this guitar? Would the whole side have to be replaced? I'm guessing this something a very experienced repairperson or luthier would have to take on... :(

More then likely you would need to replace the side.I have "patched" a few that weren't this bad but a patch always show's.Pricey too.

Wow, a fall off of a wall hangar did that? I used to work in a music store and I have seen stuff fall but man, that is gruesome. What's with the big hole in the side? looks like someone played el Kabong with that bad boy.
