Fatter low string with a longer neck definitely makes it easier.
I'll take it to a local luthier soon and see what he has to say about the neck. |

You do know he is doing that on a steel bodied resonator, not an acoustic guitar, right?

Why do you feel that a patch is stronger than splines. I am of the opposite opinion, I feel splines would be stronger than a wood patch. Steve

I agree with pastor Steve, if you heard it and it looks like a pretty serious crack, then I would take it quickly to your tech and get it repaired.

If you machine a scoop 2" long with a 3" diameter drum (and I would have thought for a crack like this, 2" would be an absolute minimum ) you are going to go more than 3/8" deep from the back of the neck. That could well mean that you are going to machine a scoop in the truss rod as well. The spline solution has no such downside as far as I can see ... two splines, about 5" long, one on either side of the truss rod slot, routered to just underneath the fretboard, and well glued in , would make that neck rock solid. A scoop graft could certainly be added afterwards ("belt and braces" as they say in the UK) but the spllnes are a sine qua non IMO. |

Seems like you'd have to take an awful lot of wood off the back of the neck, I get the concept it just seems like you might cut into the truss rod channel if you're not careful. |
