Yeah I'm hoping I get full of insurance which would be €1000 (I paid €1300 and flippantly said to my mate to stick a grand on it when he was posting it) and my trusted local shop has estimated €300-400 without having seen it...
I am a little bit tempted to try and DIY it, the gluing bit is obviously easy but backstrapping will likely be a good challenge for a first time...
I really hope you get something back for this, you must be gutted.
That's a familiar repair to any luthier, but obviously it's not going to be new again - sorry to see the pictures.
