This ones made me some frustraion in coment section on Shorts with this repair, so i pin them here too: 1. "Gluing the truss rod" - you can't do a metal+wood bond with Titebond, bc it's dont fit for this purpose. Beside that - truss rod here is in polyethylene film, and polyethylene, you know, dont really gluable at all. 2. "Truss rod non-adjustable now" - the nut located on the other side, and look first p, in case of any further questions about gluing the truss rod. 3. "Rubber, lol?" - in case of perfect fit of parts this is the best method bc it compresses from all sides and hold crack firmly. In case of any other clamp you get only two point of pressure, damaged wood and helluva lot of other issues 4. "SPLINES" - Nope, gluing cracks with THIS much area don`t need any splines. And doesn`t affect playability at all. It will definitely sounds bit different, but not so much as many told here and after all it plays again :)
You all can get all technical on why she shouldn’t have done the repair the way she did, but you know what? How many other guitar technicians would have told her the guitar was screwed and she needed to buy a new one? She at least tackled the project and did her best to repair it to the best of her abilities. Stop getting technical on everybody. If it works it works. You’re just pissed because the girl did better Work than you would ever do
@@tetedur377 It's prevention info))) I posted shorts video with beginning of this repair, it got some views, and in that video some people just make me sad xD
Ignore the critics Tanya, great work, and a great and satisfying video. Ultimately this is not some vintage Martin that needs a total strip back and refinishing - you’ve made it strong and it looks smart, that’s what’s important. Can I ask what spray paint you used? It have you a really nice finish!
@@TheMightyYak The brown paint ruined what could have been a imperceptible repair. The marker could have been used to match the wood color and grain over the broken section.
Exactly how I would have done this repair. I’ve done many in past years including my own. This type of break is the easiest to fix but still requires great attention to the individual shards of wood at the headstock and the neck. Don’t let them bring you down over bench seat coaching. You did an amazing job. Each repair is a true labor of love. It’s obvious to me and others you love your work. Keep up the good fight. ✌️💙😎🎼🎸
I do want to say, that though the repair is on point, the video is also on point. Some don't think about that, but the angles, focus, etc. It's all on point. I just did the same repair, this week. She killed it.
Great repair. A friend of mine (former band mate) had his head stock broken off his neck (Gibson electric guitar) back in 1988 (darn kids of his). A luthier repaired his guitar quite well and he still plays that guitar today. Great work!
Gibson is known for that due to how their headstocks are attached to the neck at the factory, the relative thin shape, the wood type, and the biggest factor, the angled back headstock design you don’t see on a fender, which means a Gibson will balance directly on the headstock if it is set on the ground. Gibson could fix this, but there are snobs who thing absolutely everything effects the tone. To them, a Gibson with a scarf joint on the headstock (which changes the grain orientation) isn’t even a Gibson because it’s now “completely” different than a vintage one and can never sound the same!! In other words, humans are dumb. In fact, I prefer my bottom of the line Squier “Bullet” (now renamed Sonic) Telecaster over most Fender guitars I’ve played!! Only guitar I’ve liked better was a Squier Classic Vibe 70s thinline Tele, and I think it was just because of the strings!!
@@djijspeakerguy4628 Gibson snobs are hilarious. I like watching videos of how people have bought Chibsons and then upgraded all the electronics and hardware and done a proper set-up. The comment sections of those videos always have some butthurt Gibson snobs who deep down are annoyed that they paid thousands for their guitar when the truth is the quality control on a lot of the guitars coming from Gibson USA leaves a lot to be desired.
I'm mesmerized with the techniques and how they work so well. At a moment you see a broken part and think "how is she gonna fix that" and a minute after it doesnt even look like it broke off.
I admire your simple and straight-forward approach to repairs. I'm retired and spend my poverty years rescuing old instruments. I don't have much skill or resources, but common sense is often one's greatest tool. And I have a lot of old tubing. Let the Tightbond do its job. Wonderful!
I just had my first snapped headstock repair (an EB bass) and followed this to the best of my abilities. It looks pretty good and it's solid and playable thanks to your expert guidance and inspiration !
That's an impressive repair job! One of my greatest fears is breaking a head stock off one of my guitars but it's good to know that repair is an option. Ty for the content!
Se quebrar, fique tranquilo! Aqui numa pequena cidade do Brasil (Rio Casca), já restaurei várias guitarras com esse mesmo problema, apenas como diferencial a este já ótimo trabalho do vídeo, insiro também cravilhas de madeira como reforço e garanto que fica perfeito. Não desejo, mas se acontecer uma quebra desse tipo, procure um bom luthier perto de você e tudo estará resolvido com suas guitarras. Abraço e um ótimo 2024 (com muitas bênçãos, saúde, paz e muita música para o mundo ser mais feliz!).
Perfect repair Tanya. Too often you see people putting in extra splines, when this is really not necessary when you have clean break with lots of glue surface. A big thumbs up!
I used to work as a stone-mason, and now I am retired, but I mis the process of creating things out. Of stone.... what you do with your work reminds me of how the stonework went... It's a series of operations, each one in an order and given complete attention before moving on to next.. it becomes a total process in the end, and the result arrived at is often so satisfying and beautiful...I do miss it, in a way, thanks for your fine work, and good wishes to you from the Oregon coast, AL
I have fever dreams of my Gibson headstock being broke. After waiting my entire life to be able to get one that's insane how much that I think about all the ways it could get broke period this video was the first I've seen the tubing being used and it's brilliant.
Yes, Gibson is notorious, for headstock/neck breaks. It is a very weak area. That is why other makers have the little volute in that area. Always handle your Gibson carefully and Never lean it against a wall. Use a good, stable, guitar stand and check it for stability, before you leave the store. Keep it in a corner, if possible, and away from any traffic. Actually, I would do this for Any guitar, but especially a Gibson. 😁✌🖖
Seamless repair - I had a next break on a Les Paul custom some years back. The repair was easier with this as it had the black lacquer finish. But what you have done here takes a lot of skill ❤. Love the sneeze too!
I've never done a full headstock repair but I bought a Les Paul that had a terrible neck repair job and I fixed it up! Its now almost invisible. So happy as its my go to living room guitar! I posted it up to my YT channel...

I learned something new about filing the nut. You measured with a straight edge from the nut to the second fret and made it level. I did not realize that would work or that the nut was level with the first two frets that makes since now. Thanks for showing. Lets hear it play now. It does look like a great repair.
Love your work young lady!! The nail polish got my attention but your stellar work keeps me coming back to watch. Good luck with everything you are going through in your homeland, and keep those guitars in good repair.
I like how your nails started out one color and then you changed the color. It's a no brainier you know what your doing. How someone can be so careless as to break the neck on their guitar? My guitars are my pride and joy. I've been playing for 27 years and have never had a mishap. It's get that you do what you do so wonderful. Thanks
A brilliant job Tanya. I’ve never had a broken headstock, but I reckon I could fix one after watching your vid! Keep up the awesome work. I’ll be watching more of your videos now!
Wao Que bien donde yo puedo conseguir esa pintura en spray? También lo que utilizó para dar brillo y el glue? Muy bonito desde la República Dominicana ❤❤❤
Yo diría que no es una buena reparación, preferible cambiar el mástil, porque la presión de las cuerdas o al ligero golpe se puede volver a quebrar, saludos.
Great work on the repair. Probably wouldn't have painted it if it was me.. I would have just used a brown marker on the crack and left it slightly visible as long as you couldn't feel it. And then sprayed a clear over it
@@briandeeley1599 eh she painted over all the nice wood grain. I'd rather have a battle scar than cover up like that. Really comes down to what the client wanted though
Hi Tanya. Your work is incredible. You are very talented. I've watched a few videos and your care and way to bring the instruments to life is absolutely brilliant. You've got talent. I would like to ask you where did you learn this magnificent job? Congratulations. Greetings to you from Brazil.
Fixing the crack looks like the impossible task at the beginning, but after watching this video, that was the easy part. Making it look like it was never cracked is the hard part. Beautiful job.
Nice repair! If I may offer a suggestion, when glueing two pieces of wood together, especially on a raw break, always brush the glue into BOTH surfaces in order to ensure that best possible joint. Not doing so allows for the potential of air pockets in the glue, which as we know, is the enemy of a strong joint.
@@kennethcohagen3539 Most likely it was cyanoacrilate, also known as CA glue, or commonly as superglue. It works well as a small gauge filler and is sandable.
A glue called yellow glue was also used which is as strong itself as the wood or better. It does not shrink. Wood split cannot be matched perfectly so this glue will fill the voids!
I don't think she clamped it good enough either...in my opinion.......rubber can not squeeze as good as a metal clamp....unless she did clamp it with a c clamp after she wrapped it,and didn't show it......always clamp it TIGHT...Even is one thing, but I think tighter is more important
It is a real pleasure to watch you working with so much precision and dedication. The end result is just wow. Thank you for sharing this masterpiece with us.
you have to know how to glue how many failures I had in my gluing yesterday again with epoxy I don't know what it will give :( hey I even glued my teeth with a white malleable epoxy because the gray one doesn't hold water :( Tanya has a gift, she uses it well :) it will be necessary because even working on genius is 99% perspiration for 10% intuition :)
plink out them' thar frets. restore the fingerboard. Bang in some new wires. Dress' em up. Be sure to check with customer to get exact strings of choice Playcheck. Check nut action. Sight down neck and check for truss rod adjustment opportunity and intonation exam. Check out the health of the bridge, saddle and bridge pins. Put the draft beer mugs back in the freezer. I'm on the way!
Beautiful job. I don't know if I missed something or not, but I was curious about the glue causing problems with the truss rod. My instinct would have been to brush a bit of Vaseline onto the truss rod where the glue might come into contact. But I'm gathering your experience has told you that the glue won't stick to the metal sufficiently so it can't be freed with a good twist of the hex wrench.
Yeah I agree the Vaseline works wonders! When I did a Gibson SG repair I put parchment wax paper in between the wood that I had clamps over and Vaseline in the truss rod cavity. The Vaseline helped and the wax paper did, too. What I did take away with what she's saying is still after this type of repair it definitely will be twisting any residue off the truss rod to set the neck relief back after the initial repair.
I had trouble getting past the intentional slathering of glue on the truss rod. I know it supposedly won't stick, but personally I would still avoid putting it there, and would wipe off any that got on.
Absolutely "Top Notch" repair. That is not a "High End" guitar and does not warrant making a new neck. Short of making a new neck and the cost involved your work is absolutely awesome.
I don’t know why people bash on this girl and ask her stupid questions. She is the best guitar repair technician I’ve seen on RUclips. Excellent work girl! They’re only challenging your work because you’re female but your attention to detail is unmatched. Tanya - ignore the haters, and you don’t owe them a response
This lady is unbelievable, i think it would be quite difficult to find a dedicated craftsperson like that here in England, my 79 Les Paul deluxe is in need of a refret but where in England could i get quality service like this, well done Tanya, 🙂👍🇬🇧
I see people asking alot of questions what material and tools she is using. Tanya actually is explaining this all along if you just turn on the annotations ( CC) on this channel. Lol I just discovered that for this channel, it makes sense now. At first I thought the videos were pretty silence. Now I know better. Thanks Tanya for your work and explanations.
...that's some excellent work right there! Very impressed. I worked on guitars during covid/pandemic for about two years doing setups and level/crown/polish of frets etc. Your skills are very inspiring. Some of the best I've seen. Wish you were in Austin, TX so I could bring you my guitars when needed. Keep up the great work.
You have got some proper skills, making that an invisible repair and looking like new. Its always a pleasure to watch someone who knows their craft, cracking work as ever lass.
It may have been customers request but yeah I agree with comments, I loved the unpainted look. Keeps the wood grain, and the crack gives a great history/story on the guitar.
It is always wonderful to watch a professional repair to an excellent condition. I do the same repair work as you. You have my admiration, kind regards from Laurajane
Gezundheid. Cheerse. What a great job you did there. Ready for hours and hours playing and create the most wonderfull musicnotes there are. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Fun fact; in the US us model builders call superglue accelerator "Zip Kicker". It's an important part of my hobby table. That was some fine work you did on that neck, there! Кумедний факт; У американських модельних будівельників називають акселератором суперклей "Zip Kicker". Це важлива частина мого хобі -столу. Це була якась прекрасна робота, яку ви зробили на цій шиї, там!
Perfect, my clumsy ass fell on my West Australian custom hand-made BSG Swan acoustic guitar and broke my neck. It has an inbuilt tuner and EQ so I don't want to throw it away. This is perfect for my application
Привіт Tanya. Your patience, effort and work is amazing. Again, I learned a lot of information. Watching and learning what you do is like meditation. Thank you so much. And for you sneezing: Будь здорова! 🧿🙏🎵
Ahh. So long since I was so young. Nice work. One suggestion from an old luthier would be don't have too much faith in using fingers to apply sandpaper. An appropriate caul/ backing pad will nearly always give a better result. I liked your use of the thin card to test nut groove heights.I'll try this. Usually I will finish nut grooves with the strings on.
Dang!!!Very nice cosmetic restorations overall, Tanya! “Looks” like a very clean repair too but…I noticed you poured/spread glue all over the truss rod and it’s threading and wondered. I edited my comments bc i see u addressed my q in desc. Once again…awesome!! Im now a subscriber!!
Nice treatment of a good clean break. Great attention to the small details. My last one of these had been "repaired" twice before I got it with urethane. Ugh - 2 splines and a shim needed.
I have been watching your channel for a little while now and after two or three months have learned a lot from you on RUclips. I have the StewMac soldering iron insert (fret heater) two remove frets but saw your trick using a pistol grip soldering iron with the connected heating tip cut and wow, the frets came out like butter out of the microwave, outstanding!!! Looking forward to more informative videos from you. Sincerely Gerard
Wow,,, what an amazing repair. Loved the dainty sneeze 😅. Wish it didnt cost so much in shipping i have 4 guitars in need of your help. Techs over here in the states do not have the care you have when repairing our instruments. They get them close but not spot on and charge a tremendous amount of money for half jobs.
I really like your repair videos. You are very skilled with your crafts. My compliment. I am a trained carpenter myself... I hope you understand what I wrote because I translated it from German into English using a translation program
I appreciate this video and I have a question as a learner. What is the reason for adjusting the truss rod before gluing and do you readjust afterward? Thank you for anyone reading and I apologize if I'm using incorrect terminology.

Hi Tanya. Your work is incredible. You are very talented. I've watched a few videos and your care and way to bring the instruments to life is absolutely brilliant. You've got talent. I would like to ask you where did you learn this magnificent job? Congratulations. Greetings to you from Brazil.
Fixing the crack looks like the impossible task at the beginning, but after watching this video, that was the easy part. Making it look like it was never cracked is the hard part. Beautiful job.
Nice repair! If I may offer a suggestion, when glueing two pieces of wood together, especially on a raw break, always brush the glue into BOTH surfaces in order to ensure that best possible joint. Not doing so allows for the potential of air pockets in the glue, which as we know, is the enemy of a strong joint.
Yes!
Any idea what kind of glue she used after the Tite Bond?
@@kennethcohagen3539 Most likely it was cyanoacrilate, also known as CA glue, or commonly as superglue. It works well as a small gauge filler and is sandable.
A glue called yellow glue was also used which is as strong itself as the wood or better. It does not shrink.
Wood split cannot be matched perfectly so this glue will fill the voids!
I don't think she clamped it good enough either...in my opinion.......rubber can not squeeze as good as a metal clamp....unless she did clamp it with a c clamp after she wrapped it,and didn't show it......always clamp it TIGHT...Even is one thing, but I think tighter is more important
I know nothing about building guitars but watching this process hypnotizes me. 😂
Very impressive work, it looked virtually brand new!!! Also, that little sneeze at the end was just adorable 😂. Keep doin' what you do!!!
Amazing! You can't even tell that the head broke off. Awesome work, I'm a fan.
It is a real pleasure to watch you working with so much precision and dedication. The end result is just wow. Thank you for sharing this masterpiece with us.
Definitively CA glue is the BFF of most of luthiers. This repair is a well done job! Congratulations!
As they always say, glue is stronger than wood
😂
A broken heart is hard to break,
you have to know how to glue how many failures I had in my gluing yesterday again with epoxy I don't know what it will give :( hey I even glued my teeth with a white malleable epoxy because the gray one doesn't hold water :( Tanya has a gift, she uses it well :) it will be necessary because even working on genius is 99% perspiration for 10% intuition :)
Id rather have a new neck on it than a repaired one.
no
Can you provide a list of tools to acquire to do this...this is so very helpful...thank you so much
Great repair. You’d never know it had been broken, which part of me finds alarming 😉
Captain Blackadder75: You couldn't see it while she soaked the part in brown paint
@@powertothebauer296 I would have done the fret job while I had it on the bench.
plink out them' thar frets. restore the fingerboard. Bang in some new wires. Dress' em up. Be sure to check with customer to get exact strings of choice Playcheck. Check nut action.
Sight down neck and check for truss rod adjustment opportunity and intonation exam.
Check out the health of the bridge, saddle and bridge pins. Put the draft beer mugs back in the freezer. I'm on the way!
Lovely work, no expensive tools or jigs, just skill and elbow grease.
Beautiful job. I don't know if I missed something or not, but I was curious about the glue causing problems with the truss rod. My instinct would have been to brush a bit of Vaseline onto the truss rod where the glue might come into contact. But I'm gathering your experience has told you that the glue won't stick to the metal sufficiently so it can't be freed with a good twist of the hex wrench.
Yeah I agree the Vaseline works wonders! When I did a Gibson SG repair I put parchment wax paper in between the wood that I had clamps over and Vaseline in the truss rod cavity. The Vaseline helped and the wax paper did, too. What I did take away with what she's saying is still after this type of repair it definitely will be twisting any residue off the truss rod to set the neck relief back after the initial repair.
I had trouble getting past the intentional slathering of glue on the truss rod. I know it supposedly won't stick, but personally I would still avoid putting it there, and would wipe off any that got on.
At first i thought this is how i do it too but the finish is a thousand times better. Great work😊
Absolutely "Top Notch" repair. That is not a "High End" guitar and does not warrant making a new neck. Short of making a new neck and the cost involved your work is absolutely awesome.
I don’t know why people bash on this girl and ask her stupid questions. She is the best guitar repair technician I’ve seen on RUclips. Excellent work girl! They’re only challenging your work because you’re female but your attention to detail is unmatched. Tanya - ignore the haters, and you don’t owe them a response
It is because they are stupid and know Nothing about guitar repair.
i will not say any negative about her but if you say that you just dont know what kind of heavy weight guitar repair guys you can find here.
Woman, not a girl, fool!
Im attempting a headstock repair on an epiphone les paul today! Thanks for the video, really helps me out watching your process! Wish me luck!
Impressive work, done with great patience, love, and respect. I’d be happy to have this luthier work on my instruments any time.
This lady is unbelievable, i think it would be quite difficult to find a dedicated craftsperson like that here in England, my 79 Les Paul deluxe is in need of a refret but where in England could i get quality service like this, well done Tanya, 🙂👍🇬🇧
Show de bola um belo serviço feito com muita delicadezas parabéns e que Deus te abençoe para que vc continue com esse belo trabalho artístico.
I see people asking alot of questions what material and tools she is using. Tanya actually is explaining this all along if you just turn on the annotations ( CC) on this channel. Lol I just discovered that for this channel, it makes sense now. At first I thought the videos were pretty silence. Now I know better. Thanks Tanya for your work and explanations.

Nice Work Tanya !
"Продам гітару, не бита / не фарбована" :)
Гарна робота!
...that's some excellent work right there! Very impressed. I worked on guitars during covid/pandemic for about two years doing setups and level/crown/polish of frets etc. Your skills are very inspiring. Some of the best I've seen. Wish you were in Austin, TX so I could bring you my guitars when needed. Keep up the great work.
You have got some proper skills, making that an invisible repair and looking like new. Its always a pleasure to watch someone who knows their craft, cracking work as ever lass.
Thanks)
I think I would prefer the repair without the paint. Other than that, great work. I like your videos, and your ever-changing nail polish 💅🏼
I agree. I’d rather see a few faint glue lines than lose the grain on the back of the neck. To each his own.
It may have been customers request but yeah I agree with comments, I loved the unpainted look. Keeps the wood grain, and the crack gives a great history/story on the guitar.
Excellent work and the result is beautiful!
Thank you!
Wonderful repair work of the highest caliber! You have nice hands too...
She’s got the cutest little sneeze I’ve ever heard. LoL
It is always wonderful to watch a professional repair to an excellent condition. I do the same repair work as you. You have my admiration, kind regards from Laurajane
A hummingbird's sneeze.
Gezundheid. Cheerse. What a great job you did there. Ready for hours and hours playing and create the most wonderfull musicnotes there are. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Ja virei fãz, trabalho feito com delicadeza e com muita competência 😍
Fun fact; in the US us model builders call superglue accelerator "Zip Kicker". It's an important part of my hobby table. That was some fine work you did on that neck, there!
Кумедний факт; У американських модельних будівельників називають акселератором суперклей "Zip Kicker". Це важлива частина мого хобі -столу. Це була якась прекрасна робота, яку ви зробили на цій шиї, там!
i said "bless you" but i remember that it was the video lool ahaha
That was the sweetest sneeze I have ever heard . ❤
Well someone thought they were Pete Townsend didn’t they? Wow
Ou Jimi Hendrix
So they downloaded child p*rn?
@@antonionery8603 Ou Ritchie Blackmore...
I bet it was leaned up against something and fell to the side and the string tension was enough to break it. That guess is based on experience…….
Jeff Beck
Perfect, my clumsy ass fell on my West Australian custom hand-made BSG Swan acoustic guitar and broke my neck. It has an inbuilt tuner and EQ so I don't want to throw it away. This is perfect for my application
That sneeze was priceless!! Great video.
Your camera work and skill is fabulous to watch
Please keep making videos
Привіт Tanya. Your patience, effort and work is amazing. Again, I learned a lot of information. Watching and learning what you do is like meditation. Thank you so much.
And for you sneezing:
Будь здорова!
🧿🙏🎵
Ahh. So long since I was so young.
Nice work.
One suggestion from an old luthier would be don't have too much faith in using fingers to apply sandpaper. An appropriate caul/ backing pad will nearly always give a better result.
I liked your use of the thin card to test nut groove heights.I'll try this. Usually I will finish nut grooves with the strings on.
I also love the rubber tubing wrap on the neck for equal pressure . Much better than clamps and it’s brilliant .
Love your work. You became one of my favourite channel to watch on RUclips.
Dang!!!Very nice cosmetic restorations overall, Tanya! “Looks” like a very clean repair too but…I noticed you poured/spread glue all over the truss rod and it’s threading and wondered. I edited my comments bc i see u addressed my q in desc.
Once again…awesome!! Im now a subscriber!!
yes I had concerns about the glue in the truss rod cavity but can see from your description that you have that covered, good work!
Perfect job including the minor repairs aside. Very impressive.
Nice treatment of a good clean break. Great attention to the small details. My last one of these had been "repaired" twice before I got it with urethane. Ugh - 2 splines and a shim needed.
I have been watching your channel for a little while now and after two or three months have learned a lot from you on RUclips. I have the StewMac soldering iron insert (fret heater) two remove frets but saw your trick using a pistol grip soldering iron with the connected heating tip cut and wow, the frets came out like butter out of the microwave, outstanding!!!
Looking forward to more informative videos from you.
Sincerely
Gerard
Very nice work. Here's a tip. If you can't find the proper surgical tubing, you can cut strips from a bicycle inner tube.
Wow,,, what an amazing repair. Loved the dainty sneeze 😅. Wish it didnt cost so much in shipping i have 4 guitars in need of your help. Techs over here in the states do not have the care you have when repairing our instruments. They get them close but not spot on and charge a tremendous amount of money for half jobs.
@15:46 The first captured sneeze...how cute. Bless you Tanya.
Amazing work! Just curious, how do you find the right paint and match it with the original so well?
Done quite a few headstock break repairs and you did a fine job.
Its hard to match the color sometimes.
I really like your repair videos. You are very skilled with your crafts. My compliment. I am a trained carpenter myself... I hope you understand what I wrote because I translated it from German into English using a translation program
Great job on the repair no doubt. I do have a question. Why paint instead of stain?
I appreciate this video and I have a question as a learner. What is the reason for adjusting the truss rod before gluing and do you readjust afterward? Thank you for anyone reading and I apologize if I'm using incorrect terminology.
So much information, knowledge and passion. Can't say enough good things about these videos!
Nice craftsmanship, Tanya! Looks good!
Great video Tanya. I like the part that you used the elastic tubing than clamp.
I'm not gonna lie, I didn't think it would turn out so well, nice job T
Tanya, your attention to detail is amazing and I’m sure appreciated. Keep up the good work and I look forward to your next video. ❤️🙏❤️
