We call this one "Pete".....

Boy, that must have been a helluva show...

I am planning on playing this one on stage in a few months, if I can get to it.

WBPickups · 08-21-2007, 11:49 PM

Hell yeah! I am looking forward to seeing this one up and running again!

BCRGreg · 08-22-2007, 12:13 AM

Greg,
I'm sure you can fix it !

BCRGreg · 09-03-2007, 08:22 PM

Thanks, HG. It's on the back burner right now, too many customer guitars on the pile...

Did the SG lose alot, if any, wood from the break? Hopefully it's a clean break. Judging by the looks of it, I'd say it ain't a clean break. Have fun...m

tubers · 09-14-2007, 12:31 PM

you can do it! USE THE SECRET and the FORCE LOOP! XD

BCRGreg · 09-14-2007, 01:20 PM

We started cleaning 30 years of crud off of the exposed wood. It's amazing how nasty exposed mahogany gets when it's been sitting in a storage facility.

loneguitar · 09-14-2007, 06:47 PM

Can't wait to see the progress, got some work ahead of ya, post lots of pics

coldsteal2 · 09-17-2007, 05:32 AM

...........been there ;o(

you can beat a fender for weeks
and nothing.........drop a gibson on its head
and its buh bye

Paul · 09-21-2007, 05:09 AM

good luck.

mike newport · 09-24-2007, 10:38 PM

I think ya can fix it, but can you make it invisible, or close? Regardless of whether you can or not, I'm sure you're a very good luthier/repairer...m

coldsteal2 · 09-27-2007, 05:06 PM

there are new glues now days that do wonders

mike newport · 10-14-2007, 07:12 PM

Is it fixed yet?

BCRGreg · 10-14-2007, 10:38 PM

Nope, been too damn busy. It'll happen....

BCRGreg · 10-15-2007, 12:34 AM

Willdo.

mike newport · 10-15-2007, 11:30 PM

Pete'll be grateful, take my word for it...m

61LPSG · 10-31-2007, 09:40 PM

If you are patient, and have the skills you can repair it. You may want to make a jig to align, and clamp it while the glue is curing. I've seen a few almost this bad. What the hey, it's a try.
BTW I had an SG like that circa "69 .Walnut finish and soapbars....sounded sweet.
Good luck

coldsteal2 · 11-05-2007, 10:30 PM

with the right tools, and glues you can dooo eeeet!

siroliver · 11-05-2007, 11:14 PM

Is that crack down the headstock from a previous break and repair or was it all the result of one incident?
