Cabin Fever? Possibly, but luthiers spend a lot of time in seclusion during normal timelines and should therefore be immune to this kind of tomfoolery.

The splines where so well done my initial thought was stain them black or leave them unfinished so they stand out vs blending in but the final product is epic.

Like the Japanese art of Kintsugi *Kintsugi: The Art of Broken Pieces* www.thisiscolossal.com/2014/05/kintsugi-the-art-of-broken-pieces/ Kintsugi (or kintsukuroi) is a Japanese method for repairing broken ceramics with a special lacquer mixed with gold, silver, or platinum. The philosophy behind the technique is to recognize the history of the object and to visibly incorporate the repair into the new piece instead of disguising it. The process usually results in something more beautiful than the original

My 1989 '61 reissue SG fell down a flight of stairs at a club in it's case. It's my favorite guitar I've ever owned. I was so scared that I didn't open the case to look at it until the next morning, because I was certain I'd have a break. I really lucked out and all was good. I know how lucky I was. This was a great repair you did here. Very clean work.

Call me nuts, but took a major chance because the rest of the guitar was, and still is perfect. Also, bought it ON LINE!! You all can call me what you want, but to this day, I gots me a beautiful looking and playing RED DOT that was only glued backed together, no other supports. Not real sure what he used but holding together 3-4years now to the day! Let's just say miracles can happen occasionally. Lucky leap of faith!! True story, no lie.
