AND YET ANOTHER LES PAUL NECK REPAIR VIDEO
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 май 2023
- This is the 3rd Les Paul neck repair video I have added to my channel. Does YT need another one? Not really, there are plenty out there. But if you have watched my first two videos you may notice some subtle changes to how I now make this repair. I get plenty of practice in this type of repair!
No commmentary in this video, just a relaxing watch.

This isn’t neck repair it’s a damn magic trick. Unbelievable work man.
No not a magic trick, just a portion of damn common sens. Nothing misterios about this at all.
@@tribestribes2555 normal people don’t do repairs this good. It was a different way of saying this man is an expert in his field.

That may well be the best LP repair I’ve ever seen. Especially the front of the headstock. Not even ‘imperceptible’… the crack is completely invisible! Well done. Well done indeed. 👍🏼
Thank you. Very kind of you.
I think it may be the best we’ll ever see, too.
Next time you see some clown advertise his broken Les Paul with a ‘Pro Headstock Repair’ that looks like crap, sent them here 😹
Gibson have 2 things going for them with these headstocks, purists and a high turnover rate for broken guitars and players repurchasing new ones.
Bring back that 3 piece rock maple with volute. The neck would come out of the pocket before the headstock breaks.
@@lespaul667 You’re quite likely right. LOL
I’ve seen so REALLY bodged Frankenstein looking ‘repairs’ on these things. More than a few hanging on the wall at various guitar shops that made me wonder if a wood chipper was involved in whatever happened.
One thing is for certain… in my mind, if I ever do bite the bullet & actually buy a Les Paul for myself, and I end up with a headstock break - I’m going to get in touch with Flame Guitars! My expectations are a little higher now. 😉
Someday in the near future, these repairs will be the only way to authenticate the "real" LP. Then someone will argue (and try to prove) that the alterations are what gives them that feel and tone. Nice video.
Sure if idiots keep dropping them! However, there’s literally millions of Les Pauls dating back to the 50’s and only a small handful have broken heads because fools don’t respect their instruments!
Thank you for sharing your talent with the RUclips community.
Pleasure
I hope I don't ever find myself with a broken off Les Paul headstock, but should the worst happen, I now know who to contact for a stunningly flawless and very solid repair.
It's sad that I have more confidence in my Epiphones (from a potential breakage point of view), but as we know, those Asian manufactured necks have less of a 'break' angle (no pun intended) and are scarf jointed, so....
I think Gibson are in a difficult spot with this design flaw; for them to even consider changing to the Epi method or the filler wood method (or going back to the Norlin Volute), would probably cause purist outrage!
Another very enjoyable video, thank you.

I’m delighted to have had David work on a couple of my guitars. I really can’t recommend him highly enough. His attention to detail is second to none. He also has excellent contacts within the amp repair world! Thank you David.
Thanks Darryl that is very kind of you.
Excellent work. Beautiful color matching. Nice music. This is a great video.
A masterful repair and a privilege to watch thank you
Thank you Alan
I certainly don’t want any neck breaks, but should there ever be the need, your the man l will be contacting. Your work is exceptional. I honestly haven’t seen better..👍👍👍
Enjoyed watching you carry out an excellent repair on that broken headstock. As this is a quite common failing with Gibson necks I guess that you’ve had plenty of experience of this kind of job. If I’m ever unlucky enough to have a headstock snap off you’ll certainly be my preferred repair guy.
Hi David, you are in danger of getting good at this, absolutely fantastic work as always.
😂 thanks Ray
Masterful. There is no other way to describe your talent. An absolute joy to enjoy!
Thanks Gary. Glad you enjoyed it
Satisfaction, profection, customer happy 🥰
Another beautiful Les Paul brought back to life.
Thanks for the video.
That is incredible work, with great attention to detail!
Great work, glad to see that the guitar repaired and not thrown away........
Very impressive work. Pleasure to watch.
Strain your eyes to see that repair. It’s blended good. You did a great job
I was so intrigued and inspired by your patience and wonderful great craftsmanship.
Thank you
Working on a head stock repair a few weeks now. Watching masterful work gives inspiration. Best-
You did an amazing restoration on the instrument. Thanks for the video
I would love to see the customers reaction to an amazing repair like this!
That was very calming to watch. A master craftsman at work with some really nice background music. Perfect.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it
Brilliant work, sir. That is spectacular.
My hat is off to you, good sir. Astonishingly good work.
A very good job and it's a very hard job, to make it look like anyone would want to own it again. Well done Sir.
Thank you for doing what you do, doc.
Pure skill. A joy to watch.
That’s some amazing repair work .
Proper craftsmanship .
Thank you
Right Proper Craftsmanship in our neck of the Luthier Woods (Smile)
That's a beautiful repair!! 👍
Years ago, right before we played a gig, our guitarist brought his brand-new Les Paul Standard. He had been saving for years to buy one (we live in the Netherlands, prices of Gibsons are stupidly high unfortunately), and was really proud of finally having a *real* Gibson.
Which it indeed was, as, after soundcheck, the lighting guy nudged that guitar - it slipped backwards and yes: headstock snapped off completely.
My friend was absolutely devastated.
He did have it repaired (and it was reasonably well done too) but he never enjoyed that guitar again - sold it.
I had a spare guitar he borrowed, and we did the gig without any further glitches. That was my Aria Pro II type PE60, made in Japan. Over 40 years old, I still play it live and in studios, and it's strong as a horse.
Americans still love to call those instruments Jap-Crap 🤣🤣🤣
Little do they know, and I gladly keep it that way 😎👍🤣
Impeccable repair... kudos !
Magnificent work sir !
That really is a beautiful job - incredible .
Super quality repair. Love the way you work.
Thats called Another Level quality repair or honestly IMPROVMENT.
Thank you, much appreciated
Aloha from Oahu, Hawaii Braddah! I see we have another very skilled demonstration of your expertise….a professional repair like your last one! Surely do miss the UK and hope to return one day to show my Wife the villages where I lived for 6 1/2 years while there. God forbid, I have a neck break but if I ever did, I may have to suck up the postage and send it to you! Mahalo nui for sharing your time with the world.
I enjoyed watching you do a top quality repair on this instrument. Thats a first class job !
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it
Wonderful work, really enjoyed seeing all the steps and details. I can't believe I didn't know about locking tuners until seeing you string up the guitar! I learned something today
Thanks. I have 2 other neck repair videos in which I explain the repair process.
Wow, Just Wow, excellent artistry!

It's always damn heartbreaking to see a broken neck on a guitar, no matter the make or model...
Great work, Thanks!
Great work!
Usual high standard fantastic repair keep up the good work
Thank you Paul
Sir, You are Great ,Superman!
I bought a brand new Gibby from a seller online and when I received it after opening up the box then the case to my surprise the headstock had snapped off! I called them and send it back and got another one with no issues And yet, Gibson does nothing to erradicate this common epidemic. Great and amazing job there young man!
If people quit dropping their guitars we wouldn't have this problem
Arguably better than new now
Is the channeling and splining really necessary? What happened to the old saying that the glue is stronger than the wood?
Great Video and beautiful work. It always amazes me how skilled luthiers try painting small areas with scraggy brushes!😂
Very fine work.
Gibson should just build these guitars with splines already in the neck.
That’s why the volute was incorporated but it never took off.
Harley Benton use them though haha…
Carbon fiber splines, they could put them in before the fretboard and headstock veneer goes on
Carbon Fiber reinforced Les Paul Custom neck. Damn thing won’t ever break…at least not there.
The fear of this very thing scares off more potential LP customers than probably anything else.
Other than the price of Gibson’s these days. Ever time I look at & play one, I keep having a vision of a snapped headstock in my mind. I’d almost rather find one with an excellent repair like this, rather than a new instrument. At least it would have a little more skeletal strength. Well… a LOT more.
Thát would mean a massive improvement, which is why Gibson will never do this.
Badly built generic stuff + ridiculous prices = Gibson
Fabulous work! Truly a master
Thank you. That is very kind of you
@@flameguitars5770 I think more people should come on here and complement your work. It’s amazing.
You are some kind of Guitar Gandalf David, fantastic work!!!
Old and grey!

It's a Professional work. Remarkable.
Superb work David! Ted Woodford can,t beat that!
Very kind of you but he does some impressive repairs too. I can't understand how he manges to produce so many videos. It takes me an age to edit each one.
neck repair it’s a damn magic trick.the crack is completely invisible! Well done.
Great job!
This was magic ! Thanks man. Wow, artistic too, obviously (d'oh !)
Thank you
Amazing work keep it up rock on
