- Witness the skilled hands of JDKustom as we perform a comprehensive repair and restoration on a Gibson Herb Ellis guitar, ensuring it's ready to rock once again! In this video, we showcase the meticulous steps taken to repair the headstock and restore the guitar to its former glory. Here's a glimpse of our process:
Headstock Repair: After a previous repair, we expertly reglued the headstock to ensure a strong and durable bond. To reinforce the repair, we crafted maple reinforcements with slots using our CNC machine, providing added strength and stability.
Precision Restoration: With the structural repairs complete, we meticulously refinished the guitar in a stunning sunburst pattern using nitrocellulose lacquer. Our skilled craftsmen at JDKustom ensured that every detail of the finish was perfected to match the guitar's original aesthetic.
Buffing and Final Setup: Once the finish had cured, we carefully buffed the guitar to a mirror-like shine, bringing out the depth and beauty of the sunburst finish. Finally, we performed a thorough setup to ensure the guitar played flawlessly and was ready to hit the stage.

The way this guy repaired the neck probably made it stronger than it was when it was new.
Definitely did. The spline repair method is amazing.
*Absolutely incredible restoration job on the headstock/neck. Wow!! Flawless.* 👍
Thank you very much!
Beautiful repair and restoration. Nice work.
Thank you so much for the compliment, Stay posted for more!
@@jdkustom You're very welcome. I worked at Tom Anderson Guitarworks for 10 years. I never learned repair work, only new production. You do excellent work!
I'm not really a Gibson fan, but the craftsmanship, skill and ability seen here is second to none
Wow.... I was thinking dowels; however, that's a beautiful repair.... You're a master.... 🤙
Thank you so much for your amazing compliment!
I saw the thumbnail and thought the wooden keys you inserted would be the visible fix, almost Frankenstein like, which still would have looked cool imo. Wasn’t expecting the finished product to look as if nothing ever happened 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾
Clean and convincing work. Outstanding!
Fabulous craftsmanship! Like to see A.I. compete with that! 🙌
Thank you so much for the compliment! I agree with you about AI, as good as it is it still had a way to go.
Wow, that was a pro repair. I'd trust buying that guitar. Top teir repair for sure!
Thank you so much for the compliments and for your support!
Stay posted for more!
Great job!
I'd like to see that neck after a year or two when the different materials have had chance to expand and contract. I hope that the guitar maintains its history of having been repaired. Great job, though.
Very nice work.
Thank you! Cheers!
I had a banjo which got its headstock repaired, after two years it broke again. The luthier certainty didn't have the equipment and skills like you guys do.
That’s a badass guitar sweet job man
Thank you so much!
The factory should have put those in from the beginning.
Gibson should start installing these on their guitars from the factory. I’d buy 3.
Amazing job!
Thank you so much!
It aint a real Gibson unless its had at least one neck repair. 😂
Hahaha thats true😝
Maybe it’ll stay in tune for more than one song now though.
I love Gibson, and the other day I went to see the "guitars on tour" at a local shop in Canada. The Gibson guy offered me a free hat, and I said, "Im afraid I'll break my neck if I wear it." He was pissed.
@@RByrne🤣🤣
We laugh because it's true.. 😅
Amazing job 👍🎸
Thanks a lot! Really appreciate your support!
You did an awesome job, brother. Unfortunately there seems to be several haters and jealous viewers commenting on the video. I guess if they owned an original Shelby Cobra and it got hit they would take the insurance money and buy a new car. You can’t serve marmalade to swine! God bless.
no haters, just engineers. fender headstocks don’t break and if they do bolt on another.
amazing craftsmanship though nonetheless
Gibsons keep luthes in business
Better than new !
BETTER than new! 👏🏻
Thank you so much!
@@jdkustom…and I have the same Casio Mudmaster! 👍🏼
@@riffs66 Nice! Its a beast of a watch!
Looks good
If ever you wanted to know the strength of wood glue, I feel the need to point out that the headstock did _not_ break at the seam where the angled headstock piece was glued to the neck.
Good point! The glue join is typically stronger than the wood, issues arise mostly when a previous repair was poorly performed, this is where reinforcements are a life saver!
What amazing job
You guys are the salvation of guìtarists!!❤
This is one of the best compliments I have ever received!
Thank you so much! 😎
Shouldn’t require splines
if there is a significant gluing
area. This repair did not require
splines.
You should come work for us and give us more guidance🤣
Ps. The guitar was glued by other techs in the past (three times according to the owner) hense the scraping done at the beginning of the video to get rid of old glue...
@@jdkustom Nah, you wouldn't want that. He might let it slip to one of your customers that they are far better off just buying a new guitar than having you guys glue a ruined one back together and then just spray paint over the repair job.
@@ev6558 What if the guitar is hugely sentimental?
This instrument is over 20years old and unreplaceable in the eyes of our customer...
In the end it is the customers choice and now he has his beautiful guitar back.
Отличный ударный инструмент 🤭
First of all, these guys did a fantastic job. But what’s interesting is the number of videos showing this same type of neck break (and the same type of repair). They've got it down to a science. It's almost as if Gibson neck repairs have become a cottage industry. Are all Gibson players just careless klutzes? Or is it a design flaw? 🤔 Makes you wonder.
It's a known design flaw with all angled headstock
Design flaw
@@chn92694 Then it's not a flaw.
Sounds like apple! It’s a feature not a bug! But actually it’s false design!
@@jeff_mossy What.
Why maple for the support biscuits?
Good question, it is very strong, it does not expand as much and it colors in very well with spraying.
That's a known weak spot in Gibson's neck design. The wood grain is shorter in the area where the break occurs.
Bro wearing a damn sun dial on his wrist
Hahaha, thanks bro! It is a bohemeth of a watch! I wish it made coffee though...
@jdkustom great video BTW. Keep it up!
Bro that is a nice fucking g shock with the bracelets you've got going there! What's the model?
Thank you so much brother, it is a GWG 1000 1adr Mudmaster, it has been on my wrist for 5years and it totally bullet proof!! I absolutely love that watch!
Can the CNC do the primary carving on the splines?
It definitely can! It is an invaluable tool in our workshop!
If you look at our video ruclips.net/video/jsdoRMEMQWc/видео.htmlsi=Y6EHA6O0lSkxCg_J you will be able to see the maple splines being cut!
Thank you so much for watching!
Rimango sempre affascinato da tanta professionalità e competenza nell'esercitare un lavoro artigianale!!!!
Thank you so much for your compliment!
Looks nice! But will it look the same after a year of full string tension? I saw another video of a similar repair, where the finish started to crack around the dowels after a while... I think they used carbon fiber?
Those cracks may have been caused by the carbon fiber, the issue is the carbon fiber does not move naturally like the wood meaning it may create weak points. There are many other reasons for cracks to form, this is just one.
i would have left the battle scars
We do get those requests sometimes
Probably cost as much as the guitar 🤔JK. Very cool. Thanks 👍I’d probably just buy another one. 5k on reverb.
Wouldn’t doubt it tbh
Richard you should bring your guitar for repairs in Johannesburg, we charged 5k in South African Rands for this procedure🤔 That's about 260 dollars depending on the exchange rate...
It's worth doing for us as a labour of love and for our customer his sentimental attachment to his precious instrument in this case.
Thank you so much for watching our videos and for your support! Regards to you from South Africa😎
Wow that is an excellent job for the money
Wonder if it would be a lot stronger if you used carbon fiber strips in place of the wood ?
We use wood for short reinforcements because it flexes and moves with the rest of the neck, unlike carbon fiber, which can create stress points and even cause cracks over time. Wood keeps everything stable and preserves the natural feel and tone of the guitar.
Why yhe airbrush? Looks good one color
The airbrush was used to camouflage the crack and the reinforcing maple inserts, you can see the sun bursting was done in a way to match the neck heal so as to keep uniformity.
Thank you for watching 😎
What are you using at 1:05 of the video?
We utilize a low viscosity cyanoacrylate glue to effectively seal the surface of the crack. This technique aids in ensuring that the finish covers the affected area seamlessly, leaving no visible blemishes after a thorough polish of the clearcoat. We hope this information proves helpful to you. Thank you for watching and for your ongoing support!
You just read my mind. JDK thanks for the reply.
I wonder how much difference it would make to alter the 2 fill in spots to kind of have a random zig zag sort of pattern like how they do dental fillings.
When considering altering fill spots in wood repair to a zigzag pattern, similar to dental fillings, remember that wood strength comes from its grain structure. Wood grain provides continuous fibers that offer strength and stability. A zigzag pattern would disrupt these fibers, weakening the repair. Maintaining long grain structure ensures the repaired area remains strong and durable. Using a zigzag pattern could compromise this strength and stability.
@@jdkustom I should have realized that. Totally makes sense.
❤❤
Great repair and the new paint job, looks really nice❤
This is why they invented guitar stands 😂…if I did have my Gibson neck repaired I would then just literally give it away after
After gluing and clamping, why route out more material?
It will make it stronger for the next headstock repair 😮
Good point! The glue join is typically stronger than the wood, issues arise mostly when a previous repair was poorly performed, this is where reinforcements are a life saver!
@@klank67 hahaha, hopefully it doesn't break again!
❤
Bruh just get an ESP eclipse with a 3 piece neck thru. Wow.
Gibson are actually better after a headstock repair. They all break off. Just sitting there, they crack. If repaired right, they’ll last forever.
🤣😅 Yea, sounds about right
Hmmm. No close up of that neck repair.
Will do so for you on a future video.
Stay posted for more 😎
:PRS enters chat:
😂
ว่ากันว่า Gibson ที่คอหักหลังจากซ่อมแล้วเสียงจะดีขึ้น
This gibson had lose it integirity
Overpriced junk. If it’s not the necks breaking, it’s the finish cracking or peeling. I’d rather go ESP for single cuts.
The day you own a Gibson, you won't be saying that brother!
I do agree that Esp are amazing guitars though, all guitars deserve respect...
But it keeps repair shops in business. 😜
@@joaquimdalmeida9645I've owned many gibsons over the last 48 years and still do. Some are good, but imo none have been a dream guitar. Well, I do love my es 175T, but thats more for sentimental reasons.
Такой престижный бренд, и такое низкое качество древесины. Сейчас, каждая третья гитара, из пересушенной древесины. Сам мастер, куча епифонов и прочего хлама из Юго-Восточной Азии. В основном, ремонт головы
Вы точно мастер по гитарам, а не по болтовне в интернете? В дешевых гитарах как раз недосушенная древесина, пересушить сильно дороже. У Гибсонов с качеством древесены полный порядок, головы отлетают из-за неудачной конструкции (угла, а также отсуствия так называемой волюты). У Эпифонов как раз на многих моделях есть волюта, а даже где ее нет гриф еще с завода склеен и случаи ее отлетания намного более редкие.
Is it unethical to completely disguise a neck repair? Yes, yes it is.
Blacklight will still show it, so I don't see a problem with it
@@daleonov a casual buyer probably won't know about blacklighting
How on earth do people abuse these things that bad? Pro player i got several sgs lps explorers. Never so much as a scratch on the headstock. Are these all people who use those awful wall hangers?
Just buy a stratocaster ffs😮
I say you need both!
G.A.S. (Guitar acquisition syndrome)
@jdkustom multiples of both. Lets be real here.😅
@@RByrne I fully agree🤣 It's a real thing!
😂
🤣
Струны годами внатяг тянут, все равно тянуть будет и не строить инструмент. Музыканты наркоманы с дуру инструмент на сцене бьют, зато вам есть работа👍😉
На многих гитарах гриф слеен с завода, и все прекрасно строит десятками лет. Наркоманы пишут подобные комментарии в интернете. Голова на Гибсонах отлетает из-за крайне неудачной конструкции перехода грифа в голову (угол, отсуствие волюты). В туре шас уронить или ударить инструмент довольно высок, это вам не на диване играть.
I don't play guitar...but from body language that guys who look like HIM guitarist He seam don't recommend people to repair the broken neck guitar....He be like my maple wood vibration been filter by condom in middle... talking about value, value really high , especially for movie props display items in studio "don't touch that guitar! cause it limited edition!"... talking about band like God an astronaut, they more prefer Telecaster with Les Paul neck...look really amazing but neck won't fix in for past 23 years ago...every wood block not fit in, if they DIY in garage, everything is shacking and fragile.
Translation anyone......?
😂😂😂 "He be like my maple wood vibration been filter by condom in middle..." 😂😂😂 Thank you so much for your compliment bro!
Used that fancy machine ZERO SKILLS
I beg to differ. It takes massive skill just to know how to operate that so called "fancy machine", and how is it any different than setting up any other router? Both required extensive knowledge to use. What next, are you going to criticize that he used an air gun to apply the finish? What about the buffing wheel? Perhaps that makes him unskilled? I'm guessing you'd end up cutting your finger off if you had to use these kinds of tools because you certainly don't understand them or you'd have never commented the way you did
You are clueless...
Man
For the thousands that a person pays for a Gibson ……….
Would never happen !
It there a reson to not make a new neck
Every reason. The player likely purchased the guitar because he loved the neck. A headstock repair is a very common surgery performed on Gibsons, and although it somewhat devalues the instrument on the resale market, a neck replacement is a No-no for nearly every buyer. Custom carving a new neck, fashioning a new fingerboard, binding, fretting, setup, etc. is likely to cost nearly as much as the value of the instrument in good used condition. Neck replacement is nearly never done.
That is exactly right Joe, you hit the nail on the head!
@@joesantamaria5874Gibsons with a repaired headstock should be worth MORE 😂
@@PabloGonzalez-hv3td Hahaha
Работа класс, один вопрос, как так можно расхуярить гитару 😂😂😂
Если с ремня слетит головой вниз, то может отколоться. У Гибсонов голова слабое место)
Да это Гибсоновское полено. Они специально делают головы без валюты чтобы они быстро отлетали и ты за новой в магазин бежал. Может отлетить если ты ее подпер о стену, или поставил на не самую надежную подставку и нструмент упал. Бывает даже от натяжения струн тупо по время хранения инструмента отлетает (нечасто но бывает).
Говорят, только лучше становится звучание, посде безбашковости. Китацы сразу клеются
Не знаю как на счет звука, но надежнее так точно
