As I continue to do more research on who will do the work on my vintage Taylor that was made when they were still making guitars in their garage which has a broken headstock thanks to a
real bucking bronco. I continue to be impressed with your talents to fix broken hearts.

Elvis,
Most always, manufacturers will not cover cracks running in grain line. They will most often cover glue joint separations, as that is considered a labor defect. The guitar has to have dried out in some way to make that crack appear. Do you have a humidifier for the guitar and do you store it in your case during the winter months? We do a lot of top cracks this time of year from the dry weather. It is not unusual for a manufacturer to deny claims on a cracked top because, even if you didn’t dry your guitar out, most everyone else with a top crack did, and makers have to draw the line somewhere. A top crack should run you around $135-200 depending on the size and it should always be touched up with proper finish.
