SteveFord Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I would think you'd want a stronger grade of glue and some clamps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsongs Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 If you liked the Studio you should contact Gibson & get a referral to one of their Gold Star, or whatever they call them now, Luthiers & have it repaired.. Ask to see some of their Work & refererences of people who had their Guitars Repairedby them if possible... If you really like the Guitar you might consider having Gibson repair it or have a new Neck installed by them.. Pricey but it’ll be right & they'll back up their work.. Meanwhile buy another Guitar.. If you’re a working Musician, in normal times, you need at least a couple back ups.. I have at least 2 of my most played Guitars because you never know what can happen...

I think I've decided to take my guitar in to work (a machine shop) some time and figure some way to drill, screw or clamp it. Might as well make it a project. That's good news, Jay. Should be fun. Keep us updated, sir. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please tell us how that eventually works out for you. When my heater goes out. I don't call a plumber. I call the right guy for the right job. Edited February 7, 2021 by Sgt.

Another cheap thought that may be easier for you to do in the shop. Glue it up and use two screws to clamp it together. Try to put the screws through the thickest part of each piece. After it has dried remove the screws and drill a 3/8" to 1/2" hole where the screws were. Get a piece of hardwood dowel rod and glue in the drilled holes, snug but not tight. Trim them flush after drying. I think it would add a little extra strength than just gluing and screws. Not as strong as splines but same concept and easier! Of course a pro would be ideal.
