You are really really good repair person. There is no doubt, and I saw a fellow repairing a brake like that where it did a double scarf joint where he took a portion of the back of the headstock off and then a eight angle portion of the neck pointing two different directions if you could imagine that I guess made that double scarf joint. I think it worked out great but his name is Jerry Rosa He is a. Both builder and repaire guy
I think its a very good repair myself, maximized as you said and it's good and solid, good as new maybe better now that the head stock nut area has harder wood in it, more resonance, it's like a brass nut .. DOH!!!
Beautiful repair. Watching the repairs you and Tanya do is truly inspiring. P.S.: When filing the nut slots, a piece of a plastic, office type, report cover, will provide greater protection, just in case you slip. 😁✌🖖
Great work. Not a huge fan of the black burst cover up though. Rather see the repair with a closely matched stain. Or a more precise shape like a v coming down the neck like a stinger or something. That said, great job on the repair and finish. As long as they don't drop it again, it should last for the remainder of the guitar's life. I may not like the look, but I'm sure the client was happy to get it back in that condition
Tend to agree, the glue was probably more than enough, I probably would've opted for dowels or carbon fiber rods (bass neck reinforcement) than the finishing nails or staples for reinforcement that was originally used. Either way though, the channeling had to be done to add reinforcement, anything Janka Hardness for minimum of Mahogany or whatever the neck stock wood species is, like Maple or Birch is just as good (basically a traditional neck stock wood species). Some species of pines are even as hard as Mahogany, like Caribbean Pine. Toothpicks & skewers made of yellow birch is stiffer & stronger wood than African Mahogany. Average dry weight is heavier, but let's face it, it's a reinforcement & not a replacement section. This repair turned out superbly.
Thank you! I agree, the glue was sufficient. Reinforcement with hardwood like mahogany, maple was essential :) I plan to try carbon inserts for reinforcement in the future
A couple thoughts from another luthier: Rasps would be better from most of the excess stock removal. Also safer, as a knife can pull out a big chunk of wood if you're not careful. Also, I never disguise a repair like you performed. Down the line the guitar could get sold and if the owner doesn't disclose the neck break, someone could be disappointed once they found out the headstock was completely broken off previously. The repair you made however looks great!
I agree, but a rasp leaves more noticeable damage to the finish and can sometimes take out chunks of wood, so in this case, it’s no better than a knife. Even with masking, it’s usually clear some work was done, especially since I covered a third of the neck in a black sunburst 😁
It's a great job, but I have a few questions. First is why you use epoxy when I think that the right way to glue wood is a good white glue. Why change the finishing colour on the fixed part? And this is not a question is a suggestion, with a little bit of care you don't need to polish the headstock. But I think that the job is very good. Congrats
I used epoxy because it was applied in a previous repair. This guitar has already been worked on before. While white glue works well on wood, the surfaces here are contaminated with epoxy, so I prefer using CA glue or epoxy for a temporary fix. This allows me to route the channels for the new inserts. As color matching would be quite costly, we opted for the classic black burst finish 😁
@@ErSinga maybe I don’t get your question :) If you about color - masking it with black or dark burst is easy and quick to do. Color matching is way more expensive and usually takes longer
That looks like the original construction; the wood is different either side of the initial break; just poor design of the scarfe joint by the manufacturer. Great repair by the way, beautifully done.
A good job but I would have gone with a bigger wooden dowl of the same wood as the original neck or cut a new scare joint too take the strain away from the or break
Thanks! I taught myself the art of luthiery. Through a lot of research, practice, and trial and error, I learned how to build, repair, and customize guitars. It’s been a challenging but rewarding journey, and I'm always striving to improve my skills. Cheers!
Nice, but you could have done better at the repair area. I saw a few wrinkles in the transition from the neck to the headstock. Those would de felt by the player. A lot smoother next repair please.
I wish I had invested in Titebond years ago.
This is awesome work ❤

Love the patriotic tape 🙂
Great work. Curious, why do you use such large wood inserts if you have to cut away the majority of the material?
Awesome work! I really like people who are pragmatic and don't over complicate things! Was that Tanya talking in the background?? :D

That looks like the original construction; the wood is different either side of the initial break; just poor design of the scarfe joint by the manufacturer. Great repair by the way, beautifully done.
This is not original construction, it was already repaired in same place. But with questionable effort 🙃
Looks like a solid repair, but why not paint the entire neck or at least match the finish?
A good job but I would have gone with a bigger wooden dowl of the same wood as the original neck or cut a new scare joint too take the strain away from the or break
❤❤
Excellent
Out of curiosity, with such a clean break, why not use dowels and call it a day?
This isn't a clean break; the head actually came off at the previous glue joint. At 5:22, you can see the insert someone added before me 🙃
impressive
