Doth Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I wonder if he used a drill or a tapered reamer to make the screw holes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

animalfarm Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I believe that repair job was inspired by the consumption of copious amounts of alcohol or perhaps an organic, reality-altering substance. I believe that particular guitar was used to play Country Music, so it really doesn't need to be in tune anyway...... (hey, gimmie a break, I LIVE in TEXAS!!!). Heh, heh, heh....

TWANG Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 I once had a framus acoustic. big ol' orange thing. Must be 35 years ago now.. and the neck screws came loose. well I was broke, had gotten laid off. and staying at my folks. The old man was extremely possessive about his tools.. so I knew I only had a little time. So I took it out to the garage. drilled right through the back to the board. .it was a bolt on neck.. and put actual bolts through it. I countersunk the nuts which were like these four ugly inlays on the board. It still didn't look that bad! And it worked. You didn't want to try any bending up there around those nuts though.

lpdeluxe Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Everyone should know by now that you repair a neck break, not with wood screws, but with drywall screws. Think before you act, people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animalfarm Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 OK, it's easier to make fun of this when we can see the pictures directly, so... Should he be concerned about any intonation issues?

animalfarm Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Looking at the back of the headstock, I see that it WAS inspected by /Epiphone, is NOT marked as B-Stock...

TWANG Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 incredible. We can only assume it was bought by somebody very stupid.. or very talented. I'll show you some pics in this thread later on of two headstock breaks I got courtesy of ups. They're fixable, although one is pretty problematic. It seems the wood actually bent before it broke. I'm gonna have to make a super jig for that, and to be honest, I have no idea if even that will do the trick. the other one's a pretty straightforward snap. But boy.. that thing.. that poor epi is begging for a lot of time and patience. TWANG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
