Made in China. Damaged during a flight to Turkey. In a Hiscox case! (The case is fine BTW)
There is a crack from the treble side of the nut to roughly the middle of the neck between the 1st and 2nd fret. I could take it to a luthier, or fix it myself.
Skill level:- I built my first partscaster 45 years ago. I'm a toolmaker by trade but progressed to a Manufacturing Engineer across many materials, adhesives and techniques.
Don't hate me......
Now, what I've seen on YouTube is guys brushing in watered down PVA glue. My version of old- school would be to inject a thin epoxy or polyester resin with a long cure time to really work it in before clamping it together. (Like the stuff they use for vaccum bagged fibreglass). I know it's a little left-field, but left-field usually works for me.
Any advice?
