The two photos I showed you in that previous post were the only things I could see about it until today at about 3:43, when we pulled into a gas station to take it out of the cardboard trapezoid it was in to take photos. I did not know about the other two cracks, but Dad's confident that we can fix it. My previous post about it, I shared a link to pictures about the restoration of John Fahey's old guitar.
It went from looking like this (in addition to the obvious, the wood on the top, back, and sides was often cracked): ![[Image: P4210001lg.jpg]](https://www.johnfahey.com/P4210001lg.jpg) (Apparently he got into a fight with his wife during an illness and it wound up being smashed on her head.) to this: ![[Image: P5030005lg.jpg]](https://www.johnfahey.com/P5030005lg.jpg) ![[Image: PA050276plnt.jpg]](https://www.johnfahey.com/PA050276plnt.jpg) (Quoth the restorer: "Photo taken before the inlays were replaced and the top repairs retouched. The sound...unchanged!" The photo on the right is after the retouching.) If that can happen, I can see no reason my new archtop can't be put into a playable state.

I'd forgotten how much this town stinks. Literally. Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???"

Dreading my appointment this afternoon with the hematologist/oncologist. On one hand, I want to know what's going on with me...on the other hand I don't want him to be the one with the answer. <sigh>

Morning coffee. Some major computer tasks planned for today or tomorrow. Retiring the old guts in my desktop for new ones, while not killing the old install.
