I found a great guitar repair blog I wanted to let you know about. If you are like me and like to do-it-yourself look through Al's web page, I believe you will not be disappointed.
Beginning in 1982 studying with Lado Guitars, repair tech Allen Hunter has been servicing instruments in Canada, Norway and Sweden for over 30 years. Through this time he teched for various known bands, worked freelance from his home shops and then as in-house repairman for Long & McQuade’s North York store from May 2006 to fall of 2010. In September 2010 he moved to Oslo, Norway and opened his own shop AVH Guitar Repair as well as doing repairs for retail stores Riff Musik, Bassanova and full-time repair & maintenance for Swede metal icons Meshuggah before returning to his hometown of Toronto, Canada in Sept. 2013. In October 2013 began doing Alvarez Guitar QC for D’Addario Canada, where he is currently. Also as guitarist for Canada’s classic Motorhead tribute Motorheadache, he primarily works for rock & metal players with a particular focus on neck / fretwork and prime setups. Having had literally 10’s of thousands of guitars cross his bench in this time, including everything from plastic ukes to original sunburst Les Pauls, he insists there’s always something new to learn and enjoys sharing knowledge.
Below is an example blog.

Occasionally you’ll see a split bridge due to curl from dehydration, curling, or top bellying. Here’s the results of doing a quick, half-hour repair. This time, less gab, just pics.
