If the guitar is worth anything to you, take it to a luthier and get a score. Only you can decide what is a reasonable investment. A friend of my son once gave him a guitar that had been sitting in his garage for over twenty years, and it was really rough shape. Top was literally curled up and his neck was bent so badly that I swore I could shoot an arrow with it. He was in love with this guitar even and wanted to see it again. I took it to our local luthier, Baron Martin on Frets and Neck (in El Paso) and he told me that: 1 The guitar was worth saving and 2nd He could save it! It took him a while but we got a call that the guitar was ready. It was a beautiful guitar when he was finished with it and I was tempted to add it to my work stock, but I realized that it was my son's appreciation for the instrument, which prompted me to respond in what many would say was a financially irresponsible manner. So, my son owns the guitar now and a more classical guitar has been brought back from the brink of death. I feel good that it was not done for a lamp, or thrown out with firewood, my son actually admitted that he thought I took him seriously, and my wife do not think I'm any crazy than she ever did, so it are all good. repairs you are talking about is probably to the tune of $ 200 to 350 dollars in this area, but sometimes a luthier will give you a break if he or she is not busy, and they realize that it is a labor of love. Your can always sell your penny jar to the guitar repair, or when you are settling your monthly accounts, round up to nearest dollar. When the excess amount in your account reaches the level of the estimate, get the work done. I do not recommend to get things done one at a time when most of what you are talking about is the basic structural repairs. Until you can get it fixed, make sure that the strings has been loosened, and store it in a warm area where the weather can not comment on it, so the injury is not worse. I used to treat a lutheir in San Fransisco, who would let me make an instrument to be repaired, and let this instrument on the display until I had paid the account. It could be an option for you also. If the first estimate seems high, do not hesitate to get a few more estimates before you decide which one to take. Also remember that the price you pay in a music store will almost always be 35 – 40% higher because they pay luthier and then take a profit into the bargain. If none of these options are good, you can get a repair manual and parts from Stewart MacDonald http://www.stewmac.com You may or may not be up to the task, but at least you tried and you will always learn something of trying to repair. I work on guitars for my students all the time and have made a few repairs in some unconventional methods that have come out surprisingly well. I use railway terminals, books to weigh down parts, and a product called Gorilla Glue (only the parts that you never want to separate again, and be sure to get both sides of the weld wet before you glue the clamp down on it. Let it set for at least six hours before you look, and you have to wipe down the screen every five or ten minutes the first hour or so. One of the most amazing thing about Gorilla Glue is that it oozes out of about forty five minutes. I think this is how it comes into the cracks as well) (If the wood is warping, it will probably be fried, and the bridge should only be glued back with Elmer's Carpenter glue or hide glue. Klemme bridge from the sound hole with C clamps or if the bridge is not yet lopsided, stacking books on top of it to weigh it down until it sets. I do it all the time) I could not see your picture reason or another, but good luck whatever you decide to do. There are those who do not understand that the musicians actually have relationships with their instruments and want to do right in them. I sympathize and appreciate your intentions.

The first step in learning the guitar is to determine your skill level. Beginners and intermediates should find a resource designed for them, and leave advanced guitar lessons for later as they become more proficient. It is wise to start with something designed for your skill level, which makes guitar instruction more fun. Click Here For A Learn To Play Guitar Product Review
