thanks for watching, a little story first - feel free to skip it: my beloved selmer style guitar and my beloved 1 year old daughter had a tumultuous rendez-vous this morning (mea culpa). end reult: guitar on the floor, baby crying and a broken guitar head. the break line goes through the scarf joint. i glued it up with HHG, left clamped for a couple of hours and now wanted to know how long should i wait before restringing it. the strings are savarez argentines low tension, which IIRC are not to demanding on the tension side.

thanks in advance,
miguel.

Does this mean you already have strung it up?

Spend the rest of the day tickling that one year old, your fingers won't miss the guitar nearly as much.
