LAG – Broken Headstock

Ouch!  not a easy fix this one either, quite a complex break.SANYO DIGITAL CAMERA

I had to remove some of the splintered wood s that the parts would fit back together.  Since the split went 2 ways I glued it in 2 stages, first the back part…SANYO DIGITAL CAMERAand then the front by injecting some thinned glue directly into the split…SANYO DIGITAL CAMERAIt’s just about impossible to completely hide the cracks, the only real way to do that would be to take the whole neck back to bare wood and re-finish the whole lot.SANYO DIGITAL CAMERA

I re-touched the finish but couldn’t really hide the repair.  At least it’s playable again.
