I have a 40 something year old Yamaha Dynamic with a solid spruce top that has a nasty crack that runs along the edge of the bridge. There are no places here I can take it to for repair here, so I was wondering if there are any kits or sites that can help me repair it myself short of taking the top off as I`m not equiped to do that over here. Are there any band-aid fixes I could do `till I can get it repaired by a pro? It`s not my only acoustic so if something goes wrong I have other guitars to play. I read up about top cracks at Frets.com but theres nothing about repairs unless I missed it. The guitar doesn`t rattle and sounds great as it is but I`d just like to stop the damage from progressing.  Even though top cracks are not uncommon, this is my first so I`d like to read up on it before attempting a repair my self.

Calling Unclrob... Seriously, call or PM him. He's my first resort when I have a tech/repair question.

It very hard for me to type in a way of stablizing these cracks.Also if you could post some pix it would help.If you want to call me click on the address listed in my sign..I'd be glad to talk you thru it.

OK...I`ll take some pics of the crack...that didn`t come out right... and post em. Thanks.
