'65 Bird project for the not faint of heart

One of the scarier headstock repairs I've seen.

Mother of epoxy.  That's horrible; priced about right for the moment tho.

[Bionic-Joe]

Wow! That's Pretty bad.

[Alanko]

Truss rod adjustment is overrated.

Odd, but it looks like they doweled the headstock, then used all that epoxy snot!

[Pilgrim]

The visual embodiment of the highly erroneous statement "if some is good, more is better."

Yaaaargh. 

[godofthunder]

   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.

[66Atlas]

I'd be worried about finding a broken truss rod under all that goop.

[Granny Gremlin]

I be worried about whether there even is one at all.

[D.M.N.]

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...

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!

   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.

Wow, no thanks!

[Dave W]

Holy crap!

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