I recently acquire an old Washburn bowl back from ebay, but it has a few flaws that I would like to remedy and wondered if there were any solutions. They are as follows:

1. Pickguard is crackled- is there any way to find a new one for this kind of mandolin?

2. There is a small (at least 1 cm.) crack radiating downwards from the bottom left side of the soundhole- is this able to be repaired?

3. There is an ivory trim around the length of the instrument, but in two places, the trim has come away- can this be fixed? (Just for vanity's sake)

Thanks for any help!

It's hard to see from here (got pics?), but yes, it can be repaired.
