Headstock Restoration - Carbon Fiber

Published 2024-06-21
Hello People!
Thanks for joining me for more guitar restoration videos! In this video I glue up the break, scrape off the crud, spline the neck to headstock transition and repaint the neck!

Cheers,

    It’s one thing to fix the problem…it’s a whole other thing to make it look like the problem never happened…well done👍
  • JB Weld guitar repair is one of the worst things I've ever seen. An absolute felony.

    A real pleasure to watch you use your skill and your rational in resolving the challenges. Great stuff.

  • Seen this pop up during lunch at work. Of course i had no time to watch it.... Great to get home qatch and wind down... Keep kicking ass my friend

    Oh how tragic- that's one of the new Supremes, too...

    Its pretty fortunate they didn't glue the seam for future repair. Maybe it bought them half a night to gig it... People mean well. And thats why luthiers have jobs!
  • By the way it looks it was better they didn't glue the joint! I did mine and used LMI White glue years ago and it is still going strong and crack is unnoticeable! I used a permanent red marker on the crack and rubbed the excess off with my finger on the Cherry Red Guitar. Blends nicely!

    Very nice repair Scotty ,I love you sharing your finishing processes and products that you like to use ,I also like the Jig you made and I have a old classical student guitar that is getting carbon Fiber rods put in as a practice neck because I never had the pleasure of fixing a broken neck ,StewMac should be a proud sponsor because you use them alot and always mention them in your videos ,So If your reading this guys concider sponsoring him
  • Awesome 🙋🏻‍♂️🇧🇷👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    I prefer the way you did it before with the wooden splines, much stronger, carbon fiber don’t like to stick to wood, incompatible. Carbon fiber makes good classical truss rod if it is oriented and has crossplied rods.
