I think that the turnbuckle can remain, or be removed - I once owned a guitar like that, and also a 1956 J50; many others including a Dove which I sent to the luthier regularly for top straigthening. I wonder tho, if the luthier meant to leave it in?

But for sure it has solved the problem or strengthened the back of the guitar and that can't be bad, and now it sounds good!]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Blue Jay https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/cracked-gibson-2/#post-369831 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/cracked-gibson-2/#post-41920 Sat, 22 Oct 2011 06:46:40 +0000 Is this a common repair? Is it ok to leave the metal turnbuckle in? To my unrefined ear, my ol' friend Gibson sounds better than ever.

Thanks for any advice
