Re: what do you think of this neck repair job?
Hmmm I've seen better neck repairs than that..... I'm with JMH. I don't see why not, for $200?!?! Go for it and get a real pro to repair it if you want.

Thats pretty far from a pro repair but for 2 bills I don't think you can loose.
If it's a solid repair in terms of being stable then just have the finish fixed at a later date and roll with it...

Worst case scenario, the pickups and hardware are worth the $200. You could afford to discard the rest.

I'd take it in a heart beat. I am not careful with (my,k careful with other's) guitars, because they are supposed to be played IMHO. If the neck repair is sloppy, I wouldn't care because I could fix it myself, have someone else fix it, play it as is, or sell it for parts. There is an awesome feeling to playing crap guitars and making them sound great.

"US Made" doesn't mean much if you end up discarding the body.
But answer this question for yourself: Do you like the pickups that are in it? If you would likely end up replacing them then I would question whether you'd be able to strip $200 worth of hardware off of it. If they are awesome, then go for it.
The tuners look nice.

You could strip $200 worth of hardware off of that thing if it breaks. Buy it.

I've seen much much better repairs... for not that much money. Buy it and have it fixed.

If the guitar is a great player and sounds good I would nab it. If it doesnt play great I wouldnt bother especially if your planning on having it fixed again. The guitar is only worth about 600 bucks in great condition so if you buy it for 200 then sink another couple hundred having it repaired you might as well just look for one that isnt busted up.

Too bad about the questionable-quality repair job. Those SG Voodoo's are awesome guitars. They have a really nice bright and tight tone thanks to the Ash body and the dual slug coil p'ups.
The guitarist from Paul Di'Anno played one of those and the tone was almost dead on like a Stratocaster w/'buckers. Not the tone I was expecting from an SG.
