                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[My Seagull cracked two years ago and I had it repaired. It looked great after the repair. You couldn't see the crack at all. Then the next year in the winter the crack opened up but when spring came it closed again. Now this winter the same thing happened. It opened up again but in my great guitar wisdom I glued it. Now this spring it didn't close on its own probably because the glue is preventing it.<br><br>Anyone with any advice on what to do? Leave it cracked? Try to get the glue out? The crack is on the top from the bridge down. It's not very wide and probably doesn't go all the way through.<br><br>Plus, once it was repaired it shouldn't have opened up again, right?]]></content:encoded>
