brentrocks Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 its gonna need a lot of TLC....tear down, buff, clean, fret polish, etc....it has a headstock repair, but it was just a repaired crack, not a full break. should be pretty cool.

NoNameBand Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Way to go Brent, another fine acquisition from the House of Brent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brentrocks Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 It arrived today and once i opened the case, I knew i was in for a lot of work. It looked like it hadnt been cleaned in 20 years. There is a lot of honest play wear, and of course the headstock repair, which was done very well. I completely dissassembled the guitar and gave it a buff job. Installed new pots, capasitor and pickups. BEFORE: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brentrocks Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 That thing looks cool. What's the process for fixing that type of headstock break? thanks man! i didnt fix the headstock, it was already done... since it wasnt a full break, all you have to do is spread the crack, inject it with tightbond wood glue, clamp it, wipe off exesses glue, let is set for a couple days, buff.....you should be good to go (G to G) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
