Hi Steve,
I don't have a luthier as so far I have never needed one. I love working on guitars (though so far I've only worked on electrics, but I worked on those plenty) and as such I've learnt to do everything myself.
So taking to a luthier would be the last option - so **last** in fact that I doubt it'll ever happen since I am too much of a DIY person.
I have tools plenty and I'm not afraid to use them
Soo ... how are these cracks fixed, if they need fixing ?
Have read in several different posts dealing with fixing acoustic tops that the initial step is humidifying the guitar. Some suggest hanging the guitar vertically and putting it inside a trash can plastic bag that has a large soaking wet sponge in it (the guitar body obviously doesn't touch the sponge). The bag is tied close at the heel and the guitar left like this unperturbed for 3-4 days.
Then ... what ?
