Great job, Ted! I'm excited to see what else you're going to do to this. As far as donating it as it is now, I would donate it to someone you know in case there are issues down the road. Or, maybe a local luthier training facilty. I donated a busted lawn mower once to a small engine repair instructor. After watching you for some time now, I'm not the least bit surprised you are concerned about it. You're a good man, sir. Rock on with your bad self, Ted! 🎸😎
If the fret board is flat and the truss rod works maybe pull the frets and sand the fret board and use the dust to fill in the cracked sand it and install new frets
@TedTalksGuitars it just needs fret leveling and some rosewood dust or a little brown stain in some super glue mixed together. A fret job it's not necessary sa I can see or here. But that would be a good idea if the fingerboard had a un-seen twist in it. A little s scrap with a flexible razor blade will fix that problem. A lot of people wouldn't have thought of your comment. 👍👌
It's free man! Worst case, if the repair doesn't hold install a new neck! No human is perfect so why should the guitar be? Haha! You did a good job on that!❤
Last month I picked up a Glarry kit for $40 off facebook marketplace. I gave it a quick set up, repackaged it and put it in a toys for tots box. Better off removing clamps after an half/ hour and clean seepage then reinstall clamps.
My sons fiance has a consignment shop. They buy guitars that are cheap and in rough shape. I fix them up for them to sell. I just did one of these Epiphone SG Specials.
Thanks for hanging out on the channel and for the comment. I have been looking around jus tin case. But as you said, I am learning a lot. I love working on things like this it is good for my soul. Rock on!
It'll be a roadworn player. Older guitars have character; chips and flaws, dings and bonks. If a player down on his luck has no guitar and this was placed in his/her hands, they'd be happy as any player would be that can play.
The neck will never, never break in the same spot. Impossible. It will break in a different spot. And honestly if it was repaired and played fine I would be grateful to have it. Greeny/ Moore's guitar has a broken headstock. James Hettfeilds 1st explorer has a broken headstock. There are so many guitar's that artists broken them and still use them and say it sounds better than before it broke. You sound doubtful on it. I wouldn't. Because my Chanel is about saving guitar's for the trash landfill. That cracked neck has a history along with the entire guitar! The neck Will Never Brake In The Same Place!

Thanks. I did some of that very thing today. I'll post an update tomorrow. Rock on!

@@BCG5150GUITARS Thanks, bro. I plan to check out the frets after I get everything set. I am going to post an update soon as to where things stand.

Thanks, bro. I am further down the road. I will post an update tomorrow. I appreciate you.

Thanks for the tip. I appreciate it.

Nice. I think it will be a playable guitar. Everything is moving along. I'll post an update tomorrow.
I'd probably just buy a cheap neck off marketplace at this point, although you can't get experience any other way.

Thanks, Cal. I appreciate you being on the journey with me and your comment. Rock on!
I'd fix the fretboard with sawdust and super glue instead of UV resin.
You must be reading my mail, bro. I did exactly that today. The UV Resin was a fail. I'll post that journey tomorrow. Rock on!

@TedTalksGuitars ok
Plastic wood will fill that in then stain it to match . It's the easiest fix ever (5 minutes)
Thanks, bro.
