    Hello,

    Much to my sadness, my barely used JS10 has a crack on the side of the frame. :( Can't remember if it was a clash or floor, but anyway..

    The strings snapped cleanly in the middle, no sign of distortion.

    Is it worth restringing? Or will it just be a waste of string?

    Thanks.

    Don't bother. It is EOL. RIP js10. That crack spans across the frame.

    Yikes. I've got one similar. It's not gone quite as far through (50% rather than yours looks like 75%). I thought insaw it caving at 24lb during string so I did 21x22 and the consensus is still thst its going to collapse.

    So much for small head strong frame. I've seen a few break at the same point recently.

    Sorry for your loss.

    As much as I thought that that would be the case, I didn't want the confirmation. Alright thanks guys. :(

    Even if you manage to string it successfully, the next mishit or contact with the floor will totally finish it.
