a broken headstock repair that I did

Re: a broken headstock repair that I did

Turned out pretty good man! Did you add dowels or biscuits between the two pieces? Also, since you added a veneer to the front and the rear, how come you didn't opt to just cut it cleanly and make a new headstock for it, rather than piecing those two back together? Just wondering that's all. Turned out great though, and it's most likely stronger now than it ever was.

I would guess to work as a filler as well, plus the break is a lot of endgrain.

Nice backstrap overlay! I'd suggest that anyone questioning the choice of glue should google "frank ford back strap overlay".

No dowels or bisquits. I went for whatever would be fast, and structurally sound. Making a new headstock would have been a pain and this looked way COOLER.

Why epoxy and not wood glue?

epoxy is stronger and this guitar needs it. The owner takes it camping all the time. Hence the break.
