That's the critter, but I made my own. It was a slender threadstock rod that pushed against the butt of the guitar. It worked like a charm. I did go slow though. Over a period of a week or so. I installed mine under the bridge. The bridge was already coming off.

So just a quick update, My luthier has the guitar now, he wasn't as concerned about the body as I was. The bigger issue seems to be the neck is a bit twisted and the truss rod nut is stripped, he is working on the truss rod nut and if he can adjust the neck we will then look at the body issues. He said no point in doing anything with the body until we know we can get the neck in better shape first.

Bummer. A twisted neck is near impossible to correct with any degree of success...but it has been done.
Best of luck.

So got the guitar back from my guitar guy we agreed it would be way to expensive for him to fix. He thinks the truss rod is broke at some point the neck was broke in half I think breaking the truss rod. To make matters worse the fix to the crack seems to be coming apart. So now I am left to either try and fix it or make it wall art not sure what to do.

I did this for a friend of mine. I put a shelf in the bottom as well but I can't find a pic of the finished product. :doh:
