Thompson crack repair cleat, indian rosewood

Fix a cracked guitar top without hampering the tone! Thin, strong wood patches for gluing cracks shut. Feather-thin and flexible, these cleats are light and responsive like the soundboard itself. The rounded tops taper down to nothing at the edges, and the grain is cut crosswise — making them strong for gluing cracks.

T.J. Thompson, famous for restoring vintage Martins, manufactures these cleats to use in his own shop. Available in spruce, indian rosewood or mahogany for repairs on Martins, Gibsons and other acoustic guitars.
