mairj40 Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Picked up an Epiphone AJ 100 with a broken headstock for $20. Here is the headstock reattached. Here is the back of the finished headstock and neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottR Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 That looks like a fairly clean repair....little tough to tell for sure from the pics. How is it holding up so far? That fretboard looks like it's had the hell played out of it, it must have been a pretty sweet sounding guitar or at least sombody's favorite go to git-fiddle.

mairj40 Posted December 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Thanks. I have the front of the headstock repainted now also. I have new Epiphone logos for the headstock also. I need to wet sand it out and get it nice and smooth before I can put the clear on. I should be putting clear on the front of the headstock at some point this week. Yeah, the fretboard is filthy. I need to find some way of cleaning it up. It has some buildup on it. The dark splotched in the picture of the broken headstock are buildup from someone playing it... a lot.

mairj40 Posted April 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 I got the fretboard all cleaned up, and all the repainting finished. I am having a hard time getting the fretboard glued on straight. I have even used 2 small pins to try and hold it in place and it still moves around and is not lined up right. Anyone have any tips on getting it to stay lined up while the glue dries? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
