Taking on the most challenging headstock repair I have ever tried

[Mincer]

Wow, that is one hell of a process to get a 70s LP back!

Update.




The guitar has been at North Coast Guitars, in Grand Rapids for a bit. Russ is going to make a new headstock and scarf joint it. He will be utilizing the original head veneer and the original serial number. He is going to shave the back of the original headstock off and laminate it onto the back of the new headstock to keep the original serial number intact along with the original head veneer. He will also be doing a complete re-fret and new bone nut. It should be done in another three weeks or so.

I bet you're glad you didn't take it on now!!!

Sounds like he'll do a great job. Hope it's really worth it once you get it back.

Id get it if the LP was original 50's or 60's. Never seen anyone put so much energy into a broken Norlin Deluxe but hey.
Id be surprised if you recoup your dough.
