Headstock repairs.

Don't look if squeamish.

Not for the faint of heart.

Amazing work, on that les paul break its interesting how the truss rod seems to have held a little "cylinder" of wood in place.

wow....awesome job man

checkedgoldtop · 01-31-2010, 05:48 PM

I have a ton of respect, that sg was hurt badly. I'm guessing the les paul was more difficult though.

atheos · 01-31-2010, 05:59 PM

I like how on the SG, the only thing visible after the repair is the line from a previous break. nice!

Kølabrennern · 01-31-2010, 07:14 PM

You're a wizard, Greg.

Can I throw the one I have you repaired in there for good measure?

Paragon · 01-31-2010, 07:23 PM

I do wish I could find a guitar like that with a clean break to fix up.

w666 · 01-31-2010, 07:55 PM

Great stuff!! How about some "in process" pics?. you don't have to give away your secrets, but it would be cool to see how the magic happens.

BTW....the SG looks like it had a prior break (diagonal line from the B string tuner) that maybe wasn't repaired as well?

davebag89 · 01-31-2010, 10:10 PM

Greg, always a pleasure to see your work. My hat is very much off to you sir

LPGeoff · 01-31-2010, 11:04 PM

Wow. You are the ****ing man.

dennistruckdriver · 02-01-2010, 11:51 AM

I'm going to break one, just so I can have it fixed by Greg.

alligatorbling · 02-01-2010, 11:53 AM

what about that one that was splintered into a crap pile of pieces? i think it might be on your website... i was blown away at how you saved that guitar....

Hmmm..I definitely don't want to see breaks any nasty than those above.

Very good work repairing those necks.
