I was wondering what the value of a 90’s standard with a headstock repair would be? It appears to be a pretty solid repair. The rest of the guitar is in good shape frets are good as well.

It all depends on the quality of the repair. One of my favorite guitars is my Les Paul Custom, in black, with the PATB-1 set. My luthier friend did the job. You couldn't tell, without a magnifying glass, that the headstock was ever broken off.
It's late. I'll post pics tomorrow.

This guy is good. I'll never forget the day when I was over at his shop, and somebody came by with either a cello, or maybe big floor standing bass. I'm not sure what it was. It was over a decade ago. It was dropped, and the whole head was broken off. I thought . . . that's toast. My friend said, sure, no prob. And fixed it. I think it's still being used in the Jax symphony orchestra today.
He's doing a vintage Heritage F-hole guitar right now. Dropped and headstock snapped off. This guy is a true luthier.

EDIT: It just occured to me out of the blue that you probably meant the Epi from the first link with satin finish..Last edited by nexion218; 02-26-2021, 05:10 AM.

Methinks just about everybody here overuses the word luthier; when you mean tech.
