Hello, my intention is to repair this long neck spruce top soprano on a hobby level. My idea would be to start with the back then put the pieces of the top together.
For the back I would like to use some white glue or titebond and for the top hideglue(?).
My question: is there a risk to introduce tensions in the top if gluing the back first?
Do you have any general advices for the matter of repairing this instrument?
I believe there might be somewhat troublesome to the get the surfaces of the back together in level, as well as cleating it, even though the (now) big soundhole makes the back more reachable.
Regards
