Thanks for this observation - while true, the physical design of Gibson SGs means its statistically more likely that an impact or fall will lead to breakage. It's a thinner body and a weaker neck join than most other guitars, add to that the neck back angle and it takes less impact force to cause severe damage to an SG.
Wow great repair! Nice work! Thank you for the video! May I suggest a sideways Vibrola?! I prefer the look/feel. I would 💯% rock this guitar! The history/story is 1/2 the fun! Cheers 🥃 from Canada! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
After seeing how much heavy lifting a lot of the "solid" repaired guitars on Reverb look like maybe they did theirs in a dark room with a blindfold, I'd say this is clean enough to sit in that Mod Shop dude, well done!
I've seen some pretty rough epoxy and bondo style repairs, which just look awful regardless of how stable they are. I decided the best thing to do was rebuild and reinforce the wood - use only what would have been there from factory. It turned out better than I expected and I'm hoping it looks nice once the nitro is finish sanded and polished.
@@ScienceofLoud I've seen plenty for sale that have been "professionally" repaired. May be down to budget, but some reputable names have produced repairs that just look like glue and clamp (gibson headstock breaks). I have also seen repairs on RUclips which are almost invisible and look stronger with routed section which have strengthening inserts.
Your non-American accent is half the reasons i love your videos, the other being your incredible knowledge of guitars and pedals and your uncompromising love for prehistoric creatures. Keep it up, Colin, love your work!
Axe from the grave is definitely my favorite series of yours. There is something so satisfying about seeing something so abused come back to life. Can't wait to see how this turns out!
I had a similiar neck break to my good ol' Gibson SG I had gotten for my birthday, which had devastated me so badly in the past. Seeing you repair that guitar with elegance & effort to disguise the repairs made me almost tear up!
This looks killer so far! I’ve had “professional” repairs to guitars that came out looking worse than when the guitar wasn’t functional. This is virtually seamless! Looking forward to part 2
Hey Colin! I just wanted to say that these Axe From The Grave videos have genuinely been really inspiring me to pick up some new skills on how to take care of guitars better. I've jumped into doing basic carpentry and guitar maintenance work on my own instruments. I've learned how to level and crown frets through watching videos of yours and I don't feel afraid to do the work anymore. Thank you so much Colin, for making these really helpful videos!
Always love watching you resurrect an Axe from the Grave! Wasn't expecting to see this "slightly used" Gibson SG today, but in your hands I'm glad I did!
I love this, Colin! Not only is it always brilliant watching you go into work in such a detailed and incredibly honest way, but also you’re looking great, dude! ❤️
As a guy who started making guitars (wife wouldn’t let me spend a fortune on my whim of the week) These kind of videos really help expand my skill set. Thanks for the lesson!🤘🏻
Just ordered a 70s Yamaha SG bolt-on neck to put on an older Epiphone SG with awesome pickups, loud body but a stupid-feeling scarf joint neck. Stopped by for inspiration on that project and was very pleased. Thanks!
Brilliant work. If mine ever breaks, I know where to bring it...!! Regardless of the break or not, do to the fill pieces and good clean contact on the break line, once glued, this will be pretty much as strong as the day it was built.... look forward to hearing it.
Holy Mother of Orville! This looks spectacular! Personally I love it, when a repair has visible reminders. Makes the Guitar "visibly tell a story" and I like that. Much more than "perfect" guitars!
Axe from the grave will always be my favorite segment of this channel. I’ve lost the count of how many times I have seen the cleanup video for Jack’s guitar. It just relaxes me so much.
I am a big fan of battle scarred guitars. The fact that certain guitars have been through the ringer, patched up, and still keeps going and giving better than it got! So far it looks good amigo! I like that you make it look good without totally hiding it. Looks good and you have great ethics about this repair! Many of my guitars have scars but that gives me confidence as a player that it is still going.
The repaired area looks really clean. It's much easier to "get over" the aesthetic difference considering the damage is on both sides rather than just one
I have done so many of these over the years. You did a fine job. You really over repaired it. I just glue them back on as long as they fit good, and fill in the spots where the wood is missing with chunks of Mahogany. I have never had one break after I glued it.
The repair in my humble opinion was nothing short of top shelf ,,,all the way. The color matching well played. And I am a firm believer to the fact that a good glued joint will be stronger in the long run for strength and stability. Hope some of us can get a heads up asking price . I for one would not mind in the least being the proud owner of that sweetie of a Jen! All my best!
You make awesome videos. You are one of a small handful of pages that I steer people to for solid, accurate information. Your reputation for accuracy is impeccable. Thank you for effort and time in making great videos. Cheers
The first guitar I ever bought back in 91 and still have to this day is my 91 SG Standard. Still love it now as much as I did them and despite the other guitars I own and love in my modest 8 electric collection, including another SG Special, it's still my go to number one! And that repair looks amazing! Who cares if it doesn't exactly match the original finish! As long as the repair is solid, the finish imperfection/mismatch shouldn't matter. Finish imperfections are what give guitars their personality!
I didn't get notified about this video! What the heck YT?! I searched CSgutair because I haven't seen a video from you in a while, and I found that I had missed the last three of your uploads. Subed, and rang the bell. What the heck RUclips??
Awesome repair! I'm having a similar issue with my 64 reissue SG, not completely broken but the cracks are at the same angle. I love it when you can see a good repair, I'd buy it.
Nice video! My SG (Tokai MIJ) broke by the headstock (I might have bumped into the drum set during a gig...) but it was glued together and is now probably stronger than before! Big scar around the neck now, but that's like you said - a part of the history of the guitar! Also, at another gig, before I started using straplocks, the same SG dropped straight "face down" to the floor and pushed the input jack with the surrounding wood into the electronics space.. I repaired the hole, drilled a new hole for the jack and electronics from the side (pretty thin though on a SG, but doable) and now it's super convenient with a 90degree jack. Lot's of scars :)
Superb job there mate. I totally agree about the honesty of the repair. It's not trying to hide the fact it's been repaired in order to dupe anyone. The colour matching of the mahogany biscuits looks very good indeed and you can barely see the battle scars inside the horn carving. Excellent job mate. Carlo 🎸👍🏼
As one who has recently bought a Gibson SG Standard I hope I never have to get this repair done. Nice job and good skills. If I ever break my SG I’ll come to you.
I personally would have left the mahogany plugs unstained and just applied clear coat, I thought it added some really unique character without looking extremely out of place. Excellent work!
Like Racing Stripes on a sports car. Heck, one could embrace the fact that it was repaired and turn it into a Franken-SG of sorts. But I gotta say, I _love_ how the new cherry color blends in with the rest.
Looks great so far, excellent craftsmanship! Good on you for addressing, and sticking with, the ethics of such a repair. 👍👍 “… Adding a Maestro Vibrola, for that vintage tuning instability … “. I loved that sly comment!
LOVED what you did here. A person could buy a new SG for the price a luthier would charge for doing this work in the US, but what you did was save an otherwise dead piece of the earths resources. There should be a lot of pride in this simple gesture.
Brilliant job. Nice balance between blending it in and being honest with the repair. Personally I love being able to read the history of a guitar by looking at it.
Great video, cheers Colin - really gave me the itch to get back to woodworking! One thing that leapt out of me is that the refin looked much more obvious in some shots than others (I imagine due to the new nitro being more reflective). It'll be interesting to see how that compares once it's been sanded and polished. More importantly, given the comments on ethics you made, I can see how it would have been very easy to only use images from flattering angles (or, indeed, just shoot the whole thing as one video and not focus on it). The fact you didn't was really quite heartening - properly putting one's money where one's mouth is.
The repair looks super solid, I'd buy that in a heartbeat. Also wanted to add that your channel has influenced me to learn more about repairing and maintaining my own guitars. It's been great, keep up the good work!
The repair looks amazing, and the colour match is really good, too. I can't wait to see what it with the Maestro vibrola fitted. That's my favourite look for the SG! 🤘🤘
You got skills bra! Honesty is always the best policy and besides you should be very proud of that repair and want to show it off! I would never get rid of that guitar if I were you! Excellent conversation piece and proof of your crazy excellent craftsmanship! Great job!
I've never done a full neck repair but I bought a Les Paul Studio that had a terrible headstock repair job and I fixed it up! Its now almost invisible. So happy as its my go to living room guitar! I posted it on my YT Channel....
I think you’ve done a fantastic job and I appreciate the transparency regarding a guitar’s repair history. As long as it plays and sounds as good as before, the look is just character 🤘
Great work with the repair, Colin. I completely agree re making the repair well-matched, yet not hidden. I wonder how long until a repaired neck break becomes the new extreme relicing? 😡
Actually a really well done repair - to me it doesn't matter that the wood doesn't even match that closely (although once stained it looks great!) as it's symmetrical and neatly done. Nice one Colin!
That is a stellar job, Colin! Despite you trying to manage expectations, I was genuinely blown away by how good that looks - especially the colour matching :)
That repair is an inspiration to somebody who lost his Epiphone SG to an unfortunate Neck break many years ago. Maybe one day I'll be able to get a nice Gibson to replace it. I think it looks great, but I loved the look of it with the natural mahogany where the repair was.
Nicely done Sir !! That’s the beauty of repairs in my opinion it gives the guitar a bit more stability and in some cases if not most gives the guitar Character keep it up
Gibson SGs might be one of the coolest guitars ever made, but they are unfortunately vulnerable to nasty neck and headstock breaks if mistreated.
This 2005 SG has a BRUTAL neck break - Can we bring this one back to life?

This video is totally awesome I have to tell you I enjoyed it very much much love and respect man.🤟
Great work. It's should play perfectly fine when it's finished.
Classified under "Gibson Extreme Headstock Break"
Colin is so good at guiding me through these I end up sitting here like 'yeah, I did a great job repairing that guitar'
Don't EVER apologise for your accent.
It's refreshing to hear a 'non-American' accent. Especially when it is from my favourite place in the world!
After seeing how much heavy lifting a lot of the "solid" repaired guitars on Reverb look like maybe they did theirs in a dark room with a blindfold, I'd say this is clean enough to sit in that Mod Shop dude, well done!

This looks amazing. Regardless of the wood grain. Incredible work.
Your non-American accent is half the reasons i love your videos, the other being your incredible knowledge of guitars and pedals and your uncompromising love for prehistoric creatures. Keep it up, Colin, love your work!
You are the only guy that I know that has a decent video out here about fixing neck pockets on fixed guitar necks. Ty
Nothing more charming than vintage tuning instability!
Axe from the grave is definitely my favorite series of yours. There is something so satisfying about seeing something so abused come back to life. Can't wait to see how this turns out!

1. Loved that you cleaned during disassembly (shows you care).
2. Loved the disassembly montage (and the montage backing track).
Always love watching you resurrect an Axe from the Grave! Wasn't expecting to see this "slightly used" Gibson SG today, but in your hands I'm glad I did!
I love this, Colin! Not only is it always brilliant watching you go into work in such a detailed and incredibly honest way, but also you’re looking great, dude! ❤️

As someone whose job was repairing guitars for 2 years, I think that job is really good. You've executed it nicely
"that vintage tuning instability" loved it, great work overall dude, love your channel !
Axe from the grave will always be my favorite segment of this channel. I’ve lost the count of how many times I have seen the cleanup video for Jack’s guitar. It just relaxes me so much.
Im supposed to wait 14 MINUTES?! Damnit, Colin! Cant wait to watch this!
I am a big fan of battle scarred guitars. The fact that certain guitars have been through the ringer, patched up, and still keeps going and giving better than it got!
So far it looks good amigo! I like that you make it look good without totally hiding it. Looks good and you have great ethics about this repair!
Many of my guitars have scars but that gives me confidence as a player that it is still going.
I'm a sucker for almost any SG...love the character this one has now with your repairs....and P90s.....DROOL!
The repaired area looks really clean. It's much easier to "get over" the aesthetic difference considering the damage is on both sides rather than just one
Well done so far! The crimson build has given you confidence.
I have done so many of these over the years. You did a fine job. You really over repaired it. I just glue them back on as long as they fit good, and fill in the spots where the wood is missing with chunks of Mahogany. I have never had one break after I glued it.
Mate that was a Ted Woodford level of a repair! Congratulations, every day an old guitar is saved is a good day!
That went extremely well ! Your whimsy was well appreciated as well.
The repair in my humble opinion was nothing short of top shelf ,,,all the way. The color matching well played.
And I am a firm believer to the fact that a good glued joint will be stronger in the long run for strength and stability.
Hope some of us can get a heads up asking price . I for one would not mind in the least being the proud owner of that sweetie
of a Jen! All my best!
I love dowels for repairs like this. My favorite repairs involve internally intersecting/locking dowels that I've revived from olden days.
You make awesome videos. You are one of a small handful of pages that I steer people to for solid, accurate information. Your reputation for accuracy is impeccable.
Thank you for effort and time in making great videos.

Truly stunning work. Even up close, the repair is not immediately apparent. I look forward to the conclusion.
Beautiful workmanship. And this American listens because of your accent!! My grandparents were from Aberdeen.
Awesome repair! I'm having a similar issue with my 64 reissue SG, not completely broken but the cracks are at the same angle. I love it when you can see a good repair, I'd buy it.

I actually like the change in finish between the old and new. Adds character.
Looks good Colin. Always love your “Axe From the Grave” videos. Nice job!
Awesome work! And honestly I like being able to see where repairs have been done it gives the guitar more of a story
Best part of 20 years and 2005 just made my brain crash.
Superb job there mate. I totally agree about the honesty of the repair. It's not trying to hide the fact it's been repaired in order to dupe anyone. The colour matching of the mahogany biscuits looks very good indeed and you can barely see the battle scars inside the horn carving. Excellent job mate. Carlo 🎸👍🏼
I've never been brave enough to take on anything this intense. Very well done, sir!
As one who has recently bought a Gibson SG Standard I hope I never have to get this repair done.
Nice job and good skills.
If I ever break my SG I’ll come to you.
There's something charming about a guitar that shows off its stories
That's an amazing job, my man! Can't wait to see and hear the final product.
I personally would have left the mahogany plugs unstained and just applied clear coat, I thought it added some really unique character without looking extremely out of place. Excellent work!
same
Like Racing Stripes on a sports car. Heck, one could embrace the fact that it was repaired and turn it into a Franken-SG of sorts. But I gotta say, I _love_ how the new cherry color blends in with the rest.
So would I but it wouldn’t be as impressive a project
@@menhirmike agreed, if we perpetuate the mentality that neck breaks should be hidden, it's Gibson that wins.
Yeah, it definitely would have been better that way. The guitar could wear it's scars with pride.
Great repair! I love the look after the fact. Gives it character.
Brilliant repair. Well done. Great character to the guitar and a story to tell.
That’s a superb repair job, can’t wait to see the end result when it’s finished, well done Colin excellent job man 🤘
Looks great so far, excellent craftsmanship!
Good on you for addressing, and sticking with, the ethics of such a repair. 👍👍
“… Adding a Maestro Vibrola, for that vintage tuning instability … “.
I loved that sly comment!
Well done, young man. Your work was outstanding, your ethical reasoning was flawless.Thanks for sharing, Colin.
I fancy myself a hobbyist woodworker (35+ yrs). Color me green with envy Sir. BEAUTIFUL work. Can't wait to see the rest.
Beautiful work!
LOVED what you did here. A person could buy a new SG for the price a luthier would charge for doing this work in the US, but what you did was save an otherwise dead piece of the earths resources. There should be a lot of pride in this simple gesture.

Wow! Great job with this repair!! Got me itching to head into the workshop and get carving!
The repair looks amazing, and the colour match is really good, too.
I can't wait to see what it with the Maestro vibrola fitted. That's my favourite look for the SG! 🤘🤘
You got skills bra! Honesty is always the best policy and besides you should be very proud of that repair and want to show it off! I would never get rid of that guitar if I were you! Excellent conversation piece and proof of your crazy excellent craftsmanship! Great job!
I'm not sober enough nor have enough character space to describe how much I enjoyed this video. Thank you for your content.
I've never done a full neck repair but I bought a Les Paul Studio that had a terrible headstock repair job and I fixed it up! Its now almost invisible. So happy as its my go to living room guitar! I posted it on my YT Channel....
Colin, I saw this on your Facebook. You did a fantastic job man...
I think you’ve done a fantastic job and I appreciate the transparency regarding a guitar’s repair history. As long as it plays and sounds as good as before, the look is just character 🤘
Great job so far! Looking forward to the final video on this!
it's not a repair , it's a structural integrity upgrade !! , nice work sir
Great work with the repair, Colin. I completely agree re making the repair well-matched, yet not hidden. I wonder how long until a repaired neck break becomes the new extreme relicing? 😡
Looks great... didn't realize you had hands on skills like this...much respect
Actually a really well done repair - to me it doesn't matter that the wood doesn't even match that closely (although once stained it looks great!) as it's symmetrical and neatly done. Nice one Colin!
Ngl this one, if not my favorite, series on this channel thx collin
Great job! Well done! It shows that a broken neck doesn't mean the guitar is dead, I'ld buy this one in a heartbeat!
Great workmanship! It's nice to see that you are able to do this level of repair even without a proper workshop.
well done man, that plug work looked brilliant
that's a beautiful repair and the shimmer the two different grain directs produce is pretty!
Nice work. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this repair.
Impressed at how you cleaned up the body and added new wood ... that was really neat. Love your Italian accent! :-)
Great work- love an SG, especially with Maestro Vibrola -
Good call on the configuration!
I knew you were a builder and an electronics pro, but I was impressed with your knowledge and skill on this repair. Looking forward to part 2!
Very impressed with how the repair is looking!!
Love your work Colin! I always learn something, and hell, you're even entertaining. Thanks from Colorado!
That is a stellar job, Colin! Despite you trying to manage expectations, I was genuinely blown away by how good that looks - especially the colour matching :)
A better quality repair than I've seen from some professionals, great stuff
Bravo! Great repair.
Congratulations Colin!
Great work 👍 smart presentation and that SG was lucky to meet you🍀
Nice work, Colin. No criticism at all; that's a competent repair, from my vantage.
It looks great, I can barely notice the cracks after you apply the clear gloss!
"vintage tuning instability" I'm dead. U did a great job man, looks cleannnnn
That repair is an inspiration to somebody who lost his Epiphone SG to an unfortunate Neck break many years ago. Maybe one day I'll be able to get a nice Gibson to replace it. I think it looks great, but I loved the look of it with the natural mahogany where the repair was.
Damn dude, your channel just keeps getting better through the years. This is excellent
i love the way you fixed this SG exellent work this channel is awesome
Excellent job on this repair, hope it sounds and plays as good as it looks!
Nicely done Sir !! That’s the beauty of repairs in my opinion it gives the guitar a bit more stability and in some cases if not most gives the guitar Character keep it up
Great video. I have a 70s SG with similar type breaks that I want to repair. This gives me a good way to go about attempting it. Thanks
