Eminence EUB Broken Body Support

[gypsyjazzer]

The 'T' shaped body support that  fits  into the back of my Eminence EUB has suffered damage. Inside the body is a block of wood where the tapered 'stick' goes--the  block has been dislodged and is rattling around inside the body--to big to get out through the hollow body 'f' holes--now no body support. Anybody any ideas regarding a new style body support?--on the upper bout.

What a shame.

 

Im guessing an experienced luthier (and I use the word here properly) would have the means to extract the wood. The f holes are large enough to get the wood to a position where it could be cut and extracted.

 

Similarly, I’m pretty sure a luthier could easily knock up a new support. The issue is what would it hold against?

 

I’d message Gollihur and ask them what they suggest.

I would expect an experienced acoustic instrument luthier would be able to reattach the block without performing major surgery on the bass.
