This Burny had been in a few times. It's owned by a local band here who tours a lot and Dan just seems to keep breaking it.

If it wasn't one of THE BEST LP's I've ever played, I would say it's time to give it up, but this guitar is awesome and worth the effort.

So I set about getting the headstock back on first. This headstock has been off a few times and this break was not good.

As you can see, there were scars everywhere from previous repairs and the whole area is just a mess.

With the headstock back on it was time to get rid of the shattered laminate and start work on reinforcing the breaks so it was strong enough to handle the constant touring.

This guitar has identical construction and timber to a real Gibson Les Paul and as such has all the same "faults" as a real one.

As any guitar repairer and they'll tell you they spend a lot of time gluing Gibson headstocks back on....
