    Well, some dowels and wood glue for starters. Might be worth removing the neck with a heat gun to really get at everything. Strip the finish down to the wood (probably the whole thing for a complete refinish). Then slap the person who made it look like that.

        I'd fix that by buying a new one.

          I'm wondering how much horror is on the front of the guitar.

              DC Special...what did you expect. An inferior design.

                  Probably just a few nuts and bolts through the fingerboard. Nothing to get in a twist over.

                        I would play that! Or at least I would have tried back in the '80s when I was starting out.

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

                              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?
