Cleatus is an instrument repair system for precisely and accurately installing cleats.

The Cleatus Kit contains:

Cleat Placement Tool
Viewing Film
Spruce Cleats x10
Rosewood Cleats x5
Mahogany Cleats x5

Cleatus allows you to perfectly install cleats using a viewing film so you can see through the wood.

When installing cleats, it’s essential for the grain of the cleat to be perpendicular to the grain of the instrument. The cleat should also cover as much of the crack as possible. Cleatus makes this painless.

How it works…

The Cleatus Kit contains precision wood cleats, viewing film, and a placement tool.

The cleats are designed to fit perfectly within the placement tool. This allows for consistent orientation and exact location.

The placement tool has a standoff height that keeps the cleat away from the instrument until you’re ready to place it. This keeps glue from being smudged on the inside of the instrument.

The placement tool creates an impression on the viewing film that moves with the device, once the impression is lined up with the crack, so is the cleat. Your cleat can be placed in the correct direction and location.

Just what I needed

Had to fix a bunch of cracks in a parlor-sized guitar (limited access) and this system really helped me get the cleats where they belong.

Awesome is an understatement. Takes the guess work out of hoping you got the cleat in the right spot. Thanks again!

Cleatus™ - Crack Repair System

Cleatus worked.

I got a friend's D-14 cutaway Martin that passed recently. It had two big cracks in the back which was made from African rosewood. I live in Mojave Desert a hard unforgiving place for acoustic guitars. The magnetic film material at first seemed small, later I realized it had to be not too much bigger than the cleat. Reaching way back into the guitar, it's very hard to place the cleat in the right spot without the magnetic system. You think you're in the right spot and by checking with the magnet and the film on a dry practice run, I was way off. For practical and functional repair for a guitar player, It work really well, the cleats fit nicely into the cleat-holster, and are easy to release onto the repair target. On my guitar, the cracks are stable. The guitar is a keeper because of this.

Another genius product!!

I am very happy with the Cleatus Crack Repair system!! It is very user friendly and you can see exactly where you need the cleat to be!! I am very impressed with what comes out of Music City Bridge!! Can not wait to check out the shop sometime!!!
