When I'm at home I only look at my D-41, it wasn't meant to be played. Its to fancy. My favoriter bit from "This is Spinal Tap" is still: Nigel: "Well, don't POINT, even - it can never be played, ever." Interviewer: "Can I just see..." Nigel: "No, you've seen enough of that one."

I've not known anyone lose a guitar at a gig either, but I known someone who lost his at a rehearsal. Good job he was insured. When I play gigs, I hire one of my buddies for $100 to sit next to my equipment during the gig, and make sure my geetars are in tune. If he has to use the bathroom he will let me know..... No drinking boo's of any kind. And finally help make sure all my equipment is packed into the Uhaul... Small fee to pay for reassurance 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

saturn 379 Posted February 6 Author Report Share Posted February 6 Back to the OP. 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. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SteveFord 625 Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 I would think you'd want a stronger grade of glue and some clamps. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Larsongs 225 Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 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...

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.
