How would you repair this vintage Les Paul ?

[Dave Locher]

That would be quite a job, but I could fix that red guitar. I wonder what dolt thought all that BS was really fixing the break?

Stupid is quite abundant out there!

I think a lot of really bad repairs are done by kids.

Also, back in the old days there was no way to learn how to fix stuff except by trial and error.

So there was a lot of error.

Even Dan Erlewine, who I knew back in Ann Arbor in the 60's, botched a few jobs in the beginning.

We all did.

Lighter fluid and a match. Let it go down in a blaze of glory.

Pack the control cavity with tannerite and take it out to the range.

Take all the junk out. Repair the original problem properly. Fix the damage caused by the previous repair. Gig the ****er relentlessly.

Par for the course for a DC Special, but repairable.
