I had an accident :(

Hey peeps. Today has been quite a jinxed day for us in this house. First off, the glass door on our new oven shattered, my brothers car broke down, my dads pc is acting up,

and... worst of all!...

My pride and joy, my Gibson Les Paul Menace, fell over whilst on it's stand and collided face first with the laminate flooring This resulted in a series of cracks, splits, and cursing (from me).

I instantly had to remove the strings as the tension was almost tearing the headstock completely off. Some pics are below, though the true extent of the cracks are pretty severe, right down to the truss rod

Is this fixable? Is the guitar now ruined? I'm taking her into the shop 2moro to see if anything can be done... i'm not expecting it to be cheap at all, though with this money is no object. I now wish i took that darn insurance cover that i'd seen advertised...

(not to mention my saving up for a BFG will have to be called off)









I may cry myself to sleep tonight
