thanks in advance
Won't come loose again!that size?
It will work, but it’s a little extreme
What Glenn said above ^^^. Glue and then the blue painters tape to hold until cured. You don't want to use too much because it will squeeze out. Even if a bit does squeeze out as all surfaces are finished and not raw wood, just wipe with a damp towel. That's a pretty easy repair. But if you must wait, it should be fairly stable like this if you're careful with it.- StewMac

Thank you Jane, exactly what I was thinking. What's interesting is that it actually appears to have "split" between a black and white layer, it looks as though only the outside white layer has shrunk enough to separate from the black layer next to it.No you cannot glue down shrunken binding...the wood and the binding expand and contract at different rates...the lacquer has nothing to do with it...the waist is a common area...the cure is to handle it carefully for now and your luthier will cut it and splice a piece in to lengthen it and glue the rest of it down.
And balance. But, you will be able to keep on track!!Thanks everyone. The stew Mac glue is for attaching binding to wood, my binding has separated plastic to plastic. I’ve sent stewie an email. For now I banged in a small railroad tie as GoG recommended and it seems to be holding, but has added some weight to the guitar and has affected the tone quite a bit.
