I love these on the bench videos. As a recent victim of a Gibson headstock break, this was therapeutic.
Hi Andy. I'd get a router and set up a jig to rout a couple of grooves for extra support splints. Makes the joint much stronger.
Thanks for the tip.
I was gonna say the same. Like stewmac or twoodfrw do.
Shouldn't need that at all, he did great !
Agreed. This repair does nothing to address the inherently weak junction where the neck and headstock meet. It will break again.....
can you recommend a video or a channel or chat that has that method of routing and bracing the headstock so that I can view it?, I'm doing the exact same job on a Gibson SG as well
That’s a great job Andy. Whoever gets it is sure to play authentic mate - 👍👍😀😀
Jugar auténtico mi amigo. My Epi 335 is in awe of your repair skills...as am I. Thanks for the video.
Great job. Means the new buyer can play authentic! Always important!
I will probably buy my first SG this year and I'm already afraid of the headstock breaking 😅
I have an sg and literally a few hours after I got it the headstock broke so your fear is rational 😅
I heard somewhere that Gibson will offer a discount to anyone who will accept delivery of a new guitar with the headstock already broken. You can use the savings to take it to be repaired at a shop of your choice, and it will then be better than new. I think it's a great idea.
Had my headstock repaired last year for the first time on my Gibson Les Paul Gothic! I cried! it's a 2003 and never had a repair! My sister was at my place and hit the case and bang right on the floor with the guitar in it! At least it was a clean break. My Gibson guy did a great repair! Can't tell it even happened! it was 200 bucks well spent. But still seeing that break was a nightmare!
oh man I feel your pain!
I always keep some teat pipettes for these accidents, but in the end I use a brush anyway. So you might have saved me time and money. The more I think about it, a brush for the glue. I certainly couldn’t fault any part of your repair. 👍😁👍
This reminds me to fix my taylor baby guitar, same issue. I know...Taylor sells replacement necks but it takes the fun out of restoring and repairing lol 😀🎸🔨
Nice job! I think with the clamping either using a caul, or I have seen repaired clamped by wrapping the joint with string extremely tightly? Makes sense. I'd personally use more clamps too, and also different clamps (mostly because I find those F clamps really annoying to use!).
Glad to see it back and playing authentic though ;)
Great point! Each job requires different amounts of clamps etc. For this job, I used the optimum amount
I just wonder if it is then a good idea to hang the les paul and sg guitars on a guitarstand instead of standing on the body??
I have those hercules stands that close when the guitar is hangong on the stand gives you a feeling of safety
I always play authentic. I just don't play very well. All the same, I still love to play. Nice job on the repair.
Thanks!
Your repair did go really well and looks good. Lucky it was a clean break. Would you have tried to fix it if it was splintered up?
I am definitely not experienced enough to deal with really complicated repairs. Would have tried though!
Been playing authentic since 1998, where did you get your spectacles? They're cool as hell.
Guitar Geek: can you do a vid of some of the tools that you commonly use in your shop?
Play auth... no, I can't do it. The phrase brings back too many strong feelings.
Well done Andy, you are getting better over time.
How much value was lost in the selling, percentwise? I have a white Vintage SG (VS6VW), a bargain from a music shop where somebody had dropped it, resulting in a nasty crack at the neck joint. I had it repaired by my luthier, he used superglue to make sure it flowed everywhere and then tightened the crack with clamps. Any future buyer will of course bid low, so it's best to just keep it.
The amount I lost is minimal. I did get a couple of videos out of the experience AND I learned something. I am happy to "pay" for that education.
Any loss of sustain?
Play All Ten Tricks! Was that right? 😁 Nice tidy and strong repair there by the looks of it.
I hope it’s still there
Cool SG headstock repair. Thanks for showing this. It’s hard for me to say PLAY AUTHENTIC because my offset headstock is an Epiphone LP Classic (but it’s really nice).
Hard for you to say play, authentic? How? It's still an authentic LP. Whether Gibson or Epi, it's still authentic. It came from THE ONLY MANUFACTURER of Les Pauls on the entire planet. If you had a Chibson or a Harley Benton or any number of Les Paul clones, then your comment would make sense but as of now it doesn't. You own a Les Paul 🤣. It doesn't get anymore authentic than that unless you spend extra for a Gibson and then it's still not anymore authentic. It's just as real of an LP as your Epi.
That's like saying you don't have a real Stratocaster because it's a Squier. And that ain't how it works. 🤔👎
@@blazer6248 Okay, I accept that perspective. I really like my Epi LP and I am very careful to prevent anything that might cause headstock damage. Interestingly enough I also have a Squier Classic Vibe 60s Strat I bought used and really like it. It’s hard for me to think of either of these guitars any less because they aren’t branded Gibson or Fender, but I wasn’t sure what the community at large thought.
please keep us posted as to how it all ended, after the new owner got it and played it for a while
Nice repair job! Play authentic 😉
Cool 🎸🎸🎸🍻🍻🍻
Repair authentic... Ben Crowe from Crimson Guitars does some great videos on necks, repairs and tools.
🎶The first break is the deepest🎶
Third time is the charm so let us know when it comes back.
Maybe it's not mahogany, but boomerang wood.
@@umbertoyltp 😹👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
@@umbertoyltp Hahahahah
Were you in a eystch video comparing guitars a few years ago
Yes I was! We had a blast
Another guitar saved .. again... always played authentically.
Play Authentic!!!! I have an SG. Of course it had a headstock needing repair, as it had been thrown out a 2nd floor window by a friend. After about 30 years of the guitar sitting in a closet, he gave the guitar to me. Of course I had it repaired. Of course it doesn't stay in tune very well, it's a Gibson. I don't care...'67 SG's don't just land in your lap everyday.
There are so many headstock repairs on utube, and they are almost all on Gibsons. It makes me wonder if there are any Gibsons out there that haven't broken?!? It's so ridiculous because Gibson knows what they need to do to make their guitars more durable, but they stubbornly refuse to alter their 70 year old design.
Play authentic.....
Good job Andy
Thanks Graham
Gibson really should redesign their cases. If the neck breaks it should be because the case was destroyed. I realize the neck design is more fragile, but the case should protect it during shipping and take any damage from rough handling.
My ‘80 SG has this same break, it’s been repaired three times and always pops back open.
Does it have a an issue with temperature changes?
@@TheGuitarGeek That’s part of it I’m sure. It’s lived in three different climate types with me, though it’s been in this current climate for over a decade. Every glue job lasts around 3-5 years, then *POP!* and it undoes itself. At this point I’ve considered having a local luthier just install a new neck.
I thought you guys had trouble getting Titebond wood glue on your side of the pond.
Nope, Readily available on Amazon.
@@TheGuitarGeek I remember watching a video with Ben Crowe at crimson guitars and I think I recall him saying that he had trouble getting it but maybe it was an old video Amazon sure has changed the way we receive things all over the world.
That's my doorbell!!
Are we doorbell brothers?
@@TheGuitarGeek it certainly has a ring to it!
Play Authentic - Next guitar I get will not have a bent headstock. Thanks for the video.
You’re welcome!
Titebond is your friend. Play authentic,.
Nice repair! Looks fine and feels fine right? Ok, play authorized. If authentic is too expensive get an Epi. They're nice, they have SGs and they are "part of the Gibson family of companies" as they like to stamp on the neckplate (yeees, low cost epi SGs with bolt on necks, ewww). But mine both sound nice and are cheap and their headstocks never went boom. so.. play..authorized? (licensed?)
Authentic like the big G?
Angus would do the same. ;)
check for the headstock repair on your used guitar puchase to see if you play authentic! Thanks for your DIY video on resucitating a guitar!
Thanks Michael, You are 1000% welcome
Playing Authentic
And what guitar brand has had a headstock break other than Gibson? Ask yourself that and how it was fixed... did it even happen at all?
When we play authentic knowing how to repair a headstock can be a desirable skill 😉
Luckily I got a clean break
I see the owner of this guitar has a ceiling fan too.
YAY! (raises hands in joy)
I thought I saw a fake Shakespeare performance, but it wasn't, it was a play authentic
Comment!
I only play authentic Chibson guitars
How are they?
@@TheGuitarGeek Cheap Gibson knockoffs are getting quite good, I'd recommend people to pay extra attention when buying a used one
Sorry Geek... That Glue is not enough to last the string pressure over the long haul. "No splines? You're next headstock repair isn't far behind"
Splines need to be installed supertight otherwise it just does harm. Would love to know how it held up.
Poor BLK SG 6
yeah...
“If you were to paint that over, you would not know that was there. Which is something to worry about when buying a 2nd hand Gibson.” I felt my eyes widen and palms beginning to sweat at this revelation. And I don’t even have a guitar with a painted neck...or a Gibson. Keep calm and play authentic.
Rest assured, the crack is original, too!
But who was at the doorrr!? I need to know.
Also I don’t speak European but it sounded like flailelthentick
That kinda sounds like it has p90's on the bridge pickup
When I play, I play authentic. All of my gibsons were made by ibanez. Still feels right.
My first Gibson was an Ibanez, with bigsby style tremolo, and binding!
@@umbertoyltp they make a beautiful guitar.
I need an SG so I can play authentic lol
Glad to see it held together for ya! DAMN GIBSON HEADSTOCKS!!
If it pops again, consider cleating or doweling for additional glue surface and tension rejection ;)
Thanks for the vid!
Cheers Karl I am hopeful about this
Play guitar, hahaha, authenticly and ya that.
🎸🤓🎸🇺🇸☮️
Play Authentic! Repair Authentic!
Play authentic! I watched it all. Nice repair. I should tell you about Titebond liquid hide glue, a stronger formula for this type of work.
Thanks! I’ll have to get that Titebond. I hope it’s available in Europe
SG everything about it’s so SG........
I definitely play authentic on my Tokai Love Rock!
Which model do you have?
@@TheGuitarGeek a Goldtop with P-90s. Japanese made. My first ever Gibson (and might've been my last) was a 2009 Les Paul Special (Studio-esque specs). I have never been disappointed my whole life with that Gibson.
Edit: It's a 2010 Tokai Love Rock LS95S
Play authentic!!! Great job on the repair, looks great.
Thanks Jeff!
Probably not😉😜🤪
play authentic!~
Break authentic, sorry I meant play authentic 😀
Nice repair Andy 👍🏻
hehehehe
I have no problem buying a guitar with a repaired headstock, except here in the States, their trying to sell them at full price. No thanks
🤣❤🖖
Play authentic. BUt was it twice? What did i miss?
Play Authentic on your Maybach?
100%
You're the Best. I knew you could do it.
I wish you could have kept it, then you could have dragged it behind your car.
Too late it is on it's way...
Andy -nice work ... play authentic
Great video - and DIY Skills man! Definitely still think chewing gum is just as good...and a nail or two
I was clean out of nails. All I had was this crappy glue and some clamps. Must try harder
Swap the neck for a Fender stratocaster. Problem sorted. ;)
Play Authentic...LOL! What an ad campaign that was.
Headstock break: probably a Gibson. Headstock breaks twice: Yeah, there's a Gibson.
Hahahahahaha
I don't play authentic, I make my own!
Funnily enough I'm currently making an SG, with a proper neck!
Wow, What is different?
@@TheGuitarGeek Well, it's a laminated neck with a proper volute, for a start, plus a two way truss rod!
Should have used cheese brackets! (I made that up to go with all the too late advice you'll get). Play Authentic, use gruyère.
Thanks, pasteurized or natural?
Just up to my chin will do
@@ChrisFranklyn The fastest commenter in the west!
I was laying on the floor in the kids room pretending to be asleep hoping they'd get the hint. I was a captive audience
Might as well call up Strandberg and go headless SG.
It is tempting
Play authentic!
Mahogany is one trick pony
I'm not saying play authentic....oops...great job Andy!!!!!
My Godin really plays authentic. Actually, so does my Ibi AR.
Nice repair job. Play Authentic!!!
Always!
Haven’t watched yet, needs splines
Nailed it in the first part
Authentically broken, underengineered garbage™
Play Authentic, so that you can break your guitar and churn content out of it!
Play ... what?
I would play authentic with more confidence if Gibson would figure out a way to make their necks less prone to breakage.
It's simple. Volute. The won't though
@@TheGuitarGeek the killer part is that they have done and sometimes still do this with some guitars. I suppose it really would be too out of character for Gibson, of all guitar manufacturers, to say, "We've realized our design flaw for the past century, apologize to anyone with a broken neck, and will henceforth be putting volutes on all Gibson and Epiphone guitars because " (here is the really non-Gibson part) "we value our customers who spend thousands of their hard-earned monetary units on a single Gibson expecting the best because that's what we always claim to be."
Well I guess this guitar played authentically.
I made it to the end, but I know how Gibson's legal department are and I'm not going near any of their trademarks with a barge pole.
Do it James... live wild!
@@TheGuitarGeek Agnessi is already my sleep paralysis demon, I don't need to exascerbate the situation! :D
Treat your guitars with more care .i donot want a repaired one.
I always play authentic, even without having a Gibson...
But how?😉
I don't play authentic, I'm still not good enough.
And I don't like rock'n roll, I'm totally into Rock music, can't serve two masters.
Serving more than one master will result in disappointing both!
I play authentic
Play authentic, on a repair headstock!
Play authentic! 😬
one MUST! :D
Play authentic...... Gibson sucks! Bit sure....play authentic
play authentic (ly)
If Gibson were building cars NO ONE would buy them. These designs are so flawed and obsolete yet they are so stubborn to change them. I just don't understand it. Mistakes aren't "tradition".
If they were building phones that shattered every time you dropped one, they'd do fine... and be Apple.
Play authentic , what a pain in the neck lol
Play authentic....but first...Fix authentic...
true
Play authentic.
