acoustic is de-gluing itself!

yeah, this guitar is about 12 years old. Today I found that, at the base, the top is starting to separate from the sides. The separation is about an inch long, right at the middle. Probably the glue is starting to decay. It's still a narrow area of separation, but I suppose it will get worse. I doubt it can be re-glued very easily, or cheaply. More likely I'll get a new acoustic someday. But this little guy could hang on for a while -- a year or more. who knows? It still sounds OK -- it never sounded great anyway.

I will play it until it falls apart. Already the fretboard has numerous wear spots -- it's so cheap and not rosewood!

Well, i will keep on playing it!
