Members tele0507 Posted November 10, 2009 Members Share Posted November 10, 2009 Yes. Spend some money and get it done right - a sloppy DIY repair job will make you look like a fool at selling time.to have it repaired or done right , its going to cost more than the guitars worth. Sell the parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LesPaulCustom79 Posted November 10, 2009 Members Share Posted November 10, 2009 Excellent garbage find. {censored} the early 60's Gibson red lined case is worth $250 to $300 alone. That early original P90 pickup is like finding $150 laying on the ground. The broken headstock, meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LesPaulCustom79 Posted November 10, 2009 Members Share Posted November 10, 2009 Just curious, what type of wood glue do you use to repair a bad headstock break like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ashtray Posted November 10, 2009 Members Share Posted November 10, 2009 Someone commented on that page that it was theirs and was stolen. The more I think about it, the more this could be a reason why it was thrown away. Someone steals some guitars in cases. Takes them to a pawn shop to move quickly. One of them is discovered to be broken. Pawn shop doesn't want it - the guy has no interest in holding on to a stolen "worthless" item, and trashes it. Quite possible...
