One of the scarier headstock repairs I've seen.

Mother of epoxy. That's horrible; priced about right for the moment tho.
-
Wow! That's Pretty bad.
-
Truss rod adjustment is overrated.
Odd, but it looks like they doweled the headstock, then used all that epoxy snot!
-
The visual embodiment of the highly erroneous statement "if some is good, more is better."
Yaaaargh. :sad:
-
poor thing, I'll keep my eye on it. A new headstock with a scarf joint may be in order. Difficult to see exactly what is going on with all that epoxy.
-
I'd be worried about finding a broken truss rod under all that goop.
-
I be worried about whether there even is one at all.
-
I might keep an eye on this as well. If that headstock can't be saved and one has to be grafted anyways, maybe it'd look best with an 8 string headstock...
:o
-
In the last closeup of the back of the headstock, it looks like the break is still partially open, despite all that epoxy.
-
Finally, a good candidate for a headless 'bird! :P

I am shocked it went for $1,247.00😲😲😲😲 all I'll say is that is far more than I would consider paying.

Insane! I wouldn't be surprised if the winning bidder comes to his senses and it gets relisted.

:o
Wow, no thanks!

Holy crap!

I won't be either. It's probably even worse than pictured.

When you figure in the value of the case, there's probably at least $800 worth of parts there, so is the body/neck worth $400? Maybe? :-\
