Yeah Sweetwater has to file it and the money gets credited to them. Given the volume of SWs account with FedEx I am sure they will immediately approve it. That's probably why SW offered the $500 off already.

Sounds like everyone gets compensated and now Steve gets a sick cab for $500.

yep. Happy for him but I'm also low key jealous

lolol yup!

I'll sell it to you for $800 don't worry.

FedEx will pick it up and "drop" it off at your house. JK of course, and yeah im pretty happy overall. I can move it almost (50%?) back into place with my hands and im a bitch so I'm certain with some clamps it will be a perfect fit and sealed.

Well yeah, someone showed me the clamps to use and they're cheap. Was going to get some loctite or maybe that tite bond.

There were a couple of other ideas posted as well to fix. I posted it in rig talk as well asking how to fix and got some good info.

Titebond is the way to go. I’m a hobbyist woodworker and always have a ton of it on hand.

Titebond III is the glue I’d use for this seam.

I agree. Titebond III.

That’s what I used to repair my headstock break on my Les Paul 10+ years ago and it’s still stable as a rock.

I'll probably order that and the clamps today and get it going soon

Seriously, ratchet straps will work better in this case.
