Members rainrainwash3 Posted January 23, 2014 Members Share Posted January 23, 2014 Those look like someone grabbed it by the neck and just wacked it on the floor. I can't lie, there have been many times I've wanted to break a guitar like that, but I calmed myself haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeepEnd Posted January 23, 2014 Members Share Posted January 23, 2014 Wow. Just wow. I don't think I've seen four broken headstocks in all the time I've been playing, let alone four in three months. Must be an epidemic. FWIW, I don't leave my guitars on stands except during worship. They stay in cases at home, except my current beater, which lies on the couch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Grant Harding Posted January 23, 2014 Members Share Posted January 23, 2014 Nice clean breaks with no DIY glue mess. That's a relief. I still don't get why more manufacturers don't use volutes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Grant Harding Posted February 5, 2014 Members Share Posted February 5, 2014 On my first attempt years ago I used super glue and it ended up failing in a spectacular fashion within a month. I did everything wrong though - wasn't ready to clamp it properly, didn't prepare the surfaces... I've since used LMI wood glue and epoxy and haven't had a failure. Having tips from FK has been dare I say "instrumental" to my success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members katopp Posted February 5, 2014 Members Share Posted February 5, 2014 Usually, I try to avoid epoxy when I can, but here the slower setting epoxies habe one huge advantage. They go though a very liquid phase while setting, so they really geht into the wood fibres themselves for good. What was glued with that type oft epoxy will never come apart again.
