Re: Gibson j-100 acoustic CRAZING?

Go on the gibson website and send them a email regarding this situation. It sounds like the finish they used is shrinking and or it did not cure correctly causing the tear (finish pulling away from the hardner or what ever they used to cut the finish). They may repair and or offer to refinish it for you. It don't hurt to ask, after all $2700.00 is alot of hard earned cash.
