It sounded very similar to the one I bought possibly a bit more pure cutting output. Heritage made sure Smith's were done well and carved correctly. They were about the acoustic element of these...
Mark - I bet you have spent a small fortune on tools of the trade.
True, but it still could be kind of distracting if you had a whole audience full of mimes doing their mime routines during the show.
When this done structurally it will be as good as new and possibly even better.
https://youtu.be/jiFbY3v-9PY Here's my shot at the whole thing. This has really grown on me while I've worked on it. That last section clicked for me when I realized how often I'd heard Joe Pass...

My experience with a Calton case was super positive. I flew from Europe to Japan and return, checking in an ES 175 type luthiery-archtop inside a Calton case and the guitar was in perfect condition...
Remove the back? FWIW, I once tried to use a clear vinyl hose (I have a bunch that came with a maple tree tapping kit) to run some water soluble woodglue to a comparably inaccessible location....
