<p>Considering its' value and the type of neck joint used, this mando falls more or less in the "disposable" category of offshore beginners instruments.</p>
<p>Anything you can do to extend its' usefulness would be a positive.</p>
<p>I'd reach for the "magic-in-a-can" West Systems epoxy!</p>
<p>You could go as far as to tint the stuff and with some clean-up before it kicks, and a bit of leveling/polishing after it sets, it can look pretty good, almost as new... if that's even necessary.</p>
