Monday, August 28th, 2017Share this:TwitterFacebookGoogle+This 1974 Gibson Les Paul came into the shop with a crack in the headstock that needed to be fixed. This type of repair is fairly common for LP-style guitars.Here, you can see the crack where the neck transitions to the headstock. There are also a few vertical cracks leading towards the tuners from a previous repair that we will be addressing as well.You can see that the crack runs all the way to the face plate of the headstock. We will need to ensure that we glue this properly to hold the headstock in position and prevent any gaps in the wood.After flowing glue into the crack, we clamp the headstock into the correct position. The tuners have been removed as we will be refinishing the neck later but, this also allows us ease of access to the headstock and provides a better clamping area.When a headstock cracks like this, it is not always a clean break. In this instance, a few chips of wood had broken off as well. We used wood filler to fill in those gaps,aiding in a smoother surface for the finish.The finish around the repair is then sanded down to the wood and the rest of the neck is sanded lightly as well. This allows the new finish to apply properly and gives us better control over the coloring of the end result.Here, we have begun applying the base coats. Part of this step is to ensure all of the minor cracks and holes are filled with finish so that when the neck has been fully refinished, it won't highlight those minor blemishes.The color coat is now being applied to the repaired portion of the neck. This hides the evidence that any repair was done and gives a clean look. The heel of the neck will also receive the same color treatment to ensure a matching burst effect across the neck.Once the color coats are done, we then apply 12 coats of Waterborne Acrylic Lacquer. This is a safer, more environmentally friendly option we use at the shop. This finish goes on with a somewhat milky appearance (as seen here) but, when fully dried is crystal clear!Once the final coats of lacquer have dried, we wet sand and buff the finish. A question that sometimes arises in this process is about the serial number. The serial numbers on these guitars are stamped into the wood and, as you can see here, the refinishing process fills in that stamp. Not to worry! While you may not be able to feel the stamp anymore, looking at the back of the headstock straight on, will show the serial number is still fully legible.Here, we have the fully completed neck repair and refinishing job. The repair we completed is not visible at all and, there is no longer evidence of the repairs near the tuning holes either.We then reinstall the tuners and complete a full setup on the guitar. This old Les Paul is as good as new now and ready to get back out on the road!

1958 Flying Vee Broken Neck Joint Repair

When this job is done it will be absolutely impossible to tell it was ever repaired.

This is a before picture

WHY DO VINTAGE GUITAR DEALERS HATE ME ??? Because I break the rules and tell people what the real dangers of buying a vintage guitar is. I am taking food from their mouth's therefore I am the bad guy. Vintage guitar magazine could and should do a story like this but it would hurt every one of their advertisers. READ THIS WHOLE ARTICLE ESPECIALLY THE END Close up & personal. (written 2002) Neck joint is cracked on both sides of the neck. These are not finish cracks. They are cracks right in the wood. Very common on these guitars. Imagine buying one and then having this happen all by itself. As you can see the Korina Wood is split right at the neck joint. The finish is cracked also but that would not be a sufficient reason to restore this guitar. Ibm 29r7077 all drivers download. This is an extremely pricey instrument when there are no major problems like a broken neck joint. This type of job requires great skill and very few people are qualified to do a repair like this one. I suggest that if you need a repair job like this one done that you send it to me. If you do send me a repair, try to send it as soon as it breaks. Waiting will cause more problems with expansion and contraction. Also, don't let some idiot hack do a temporary repair until you feel you can send it to me. 99% of the time it will be much harder to repair after some moron has gone in and tried to fix it half ass. These cracks reduced the value of this guitar by $50,000.00 fifty thousand dollars. these guitars got horrifically overpriced in the late 90's. This spawned numerous counterfeiters in 10 different countries that were making them from scratch. Some of the counterfeits are so good that I cannot tell them from original. There are people that brag that they can tell an original from a counterfeit. usually these guys are vintage dealers. I DON'T BELIEVE THEY CAN TELL. maybe when the first counterfeits started appearing in the mid 90's you could tell but today it is impossible. All the possible mistakes that the first counterfeiters made are all fixed now. You can buy dated pots, all the parts are pretty much generic and even if they weren't generic the selling price which got as high as $175,000.00. I personally know 15 people that are fully capable of producing an exact replica of any Vintage Les Paul, Flying Vee or Explorer. In the case of a solid body electric guitar it's almost too easy. Hollow body models like Byrdlands, 335's etc are harder but still very possible to do. SO MAKE DAMN SURE YOU KNOW THE FULL LINEAGE OF ANY VINTAGE INSTRUMENT YOU BUY. UNLESS OF COURSE YOU BUY IT FOR $250.00 AT A YARD SALE !!! That is the only sure fire way to know it's real. .GForce Minimonsta VSTi AU RTAS V1 1 1 MAC OSX UB-ArCADE.torrent -.& Paste link).Ultra,Analog,VA-2,v2.1.0,AAX,AU,VST,RTAS,VSTi,WiN,MAC,OSX.,Vanguard,v1.8.0,VSTi,AU,RTAS,MAC,OSX,UB-ArCADE.,GForce,Software,-,Minimonsta.
