Acoustic Guitar Soundboard Repair Jack — Magnetic Bracing Support Tool
$129.65
Description
A precise repair demands a precise tool. This soundboard and back crack repair support jack is designed for luthiers and guitar enthusiasts who take restoration seriously — a height-adjustable, groove-fitted jack that holds bracing firmly in place while glue sets, so loose sound beams and small wooden blocks are reattached cleanly and without slip. Available in Black and White, it is a compact but essential addition to any acoustic guitar repair kit.

Why This Tool
- Precision where it matters: The height-adjustable elastic screw nut lets you dial in exactly the right pressure against the brace — no guesswork, no over-compression that could damage the top or back.
- Magnetic bracing mechanism: The integrated magnetic support holds the brace firmly in position while the adhesive sets, keeping your repair aligned without requiring a second set of hands.
- Secure groove fit: Grooves on both the top and bottom faces grip the instrument surfaces cleanly, eliminating the slipping or rocking that makeshift solutions are prone to.
- Simple, repeatable process: Apply adhesive, position the jack, adjust height, wait for the glue to cure, remove — a clean workflow that produces professional results even for the home restorer.
- Built for acoustic wood instruments: Designed specifically around the internal geometry of acoustic guitar bodies, this is a tool that understands the instrument it serves.
Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe all surfaces clean of adhesive residue after each use with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not allow glue to cure on the jack surfaces.
- Avoid: Immersion in water or solvents that could compromise the structural integrity or magnetic components.
- Screw nut: Keep the elastic screw nut free of debris; turn it smoothly through its full range periodically to maintain easy height adjustment.
- Storage: Store in a dry environment away from strong magnetic fields that could affect the bracing mechanism over time.
- Periodic checks: Inspect the groove surfaces before each use to confirm they are clean and free of cured adhesive, which could affect grip stability during a repair.
FAQ
What type of guitars is this compatible with?
This jack is designed for full-size acoustic wood guitars — dreadnought, concert, auditorium, and similar body styles where the internal depth accommodates the large format. It is not suited to electric, semi-hollow, or travel-size guitars.
Do I need any other tools to complete a repair?
You will need appropriate wood adhesive for the specific repair (e.g. hide glue or PVA wood glue), clamps or a second jack if addressing a long brace, and standard luthier tools for accessing the guitar interior. The jack itself handles the bracing support function.
How does the height adjustment work?
An elastic screw nut on the jack body allows smooth, tool-free height adjustment. Turn to increase or decrease the jack's height until it makes firm contact with the brace, applying even pressure without over-compressing the instrument.
Is the magnetic function strong enough to hold during a repair?
The magnetic bracing mechanism is designed to maintain alignment throughout the glue curing period. For heavy structural repairs or unusually wide braces, we recommend testing fit before applying adhesive to confirm the jack provides sufficient coverage.
Is this sold individually or as a set?
Sold individually — one jack per order. If your repair requires multiple jack positions simultaneously, order accordingly.

Dimensions and height range are approximate; minor tolerance variations are normal and do not constitute a fault. Colour appearance may vary slightly depending on screen calibration. Sold individually — one jack per order. Compatibility is with full-size acoustic wood guitars; verify your guitar body depth before ordering. This tool is intended for use during adhesive-based bracing repairs only and should be removed once the adhesive has fully cured.
