Eight Million Headstock Breaks In The City; This Is One of Them.

[Kaicho8888]

Excellent job!

 

[Skyjerk]

Thats pretty awesome

I'm wondering why you didnt extend the splines a bit farther up into the headstock. It doesnt seem as if theres too much of them in there

Really clean work there. Thanks for sharing!

I laid them in with a flat bottom under the apex of the headstock break angle. Any longer and the bottoms would intrude on the back end of the fretboard. Even so I don't think longer would necessarily be better.

Amazing work. That Les Paul Studio must have been one hell of a player to warrant getting the neck repaired after a violent decapitation like that. I'd have probably just cut my losses and bought a new one.

Its was quite the player plus it had sentimental value.

Nice work.

Thank you Sir. Flattering coming from you.
Question Greg: The repair you posted has an opaque finish. Why the backstrap on that one and whats your personal criteria for adding one to a break?

You sir have a scrotum filled with 2 big amazeballs.

That jig would make a BDSM practitioner envious.

Nice work.

 

[H-Racky]

I am impressed!
Very good job.

Color me seriously impressed.

 

[kasu]

Awesome work! Really liked your setup for glueing the headstock.

 

[frozenotter]

Wow, that was pretty impressive. I'd hate to foot that bill though.

 

[MooCheng]

very nice repair

 

[JeffH66]

That is killer work. I'm actually thinking about breaking a headstock just so I can send it to you for repair. Kidding of course, but I am very impressed. Talent on tap.

 

[gibsfend]

Wow! Just wow!

 

[jimijam33]

Fkn Wow! That turned out nice...

OUTSTANDING!! My '70 Deluxe was "butcher repaired" before I got it in '91. I had it repainted, but you can still see wood putty over the screw heads.
