<p>Thank you for your reply Greg.</p>

<p>Yes, the crack went completely through the block. I'm planning on adding it to the out side of the neck block, capping the whole surface like you mentioned . I like the Baltic birch option. I hadn't even thought of a plywood patch, multiple direction gain pattern adds strength, light weight. I have good confirmed sources here in town. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Sometimes I can't see the plywood for the trees, or something like that.</p>

<p>Thanks…</p>

<p>It's not 100% clear to me where you propose to put this cleat. The cracked neck block is glued, right? If the crack is through the side of the block, I think I'd slap a piece of Baltic birch plywood ["aircraft ply" from a hobby shop] 1/8 or3/16 thick on that whole side.</p>
