- D-35 with the headstock broken for the third time. No question it will get cleats. Part 1 deals with routing the ing gluing in the cleats. Part two will the shaping and finishing.

Just saw a post on Facebook speaking of a guitar repair wizard fixing a D-35 with a broken neck and after I saw the work, I knew it was you. Glad you recorded this. Amazing work as usual, Dane!
@@MicroMysticMusic thanks much my friend!
Oh man but you're the real deal Dane- a privilege to watch. Nothing I could add to what you did there my friend.
@@KL3NCH thank you Steve. Appreciate you brother.
Broken three times, left in a trunk for three days, WOW! Tough repair, lucky that glue softened enough that you could clamp it back. That mineral streak fooled me, thought it was a crack. Looking forward to part two!
Thanks Jag, I consider myself very lucky that it clamped together as well as it did. It turned out really solid.
Very interesting. Thanks Dane
Thank you mikie.
yep yep! sometimes things got to get worse before they get better! very nice work here mang!
Thanks Randy! You get it.
Interesting!
When I was in AZ There was a week that I got to work on 5 acoustic guitars that had been left in the trunk of a car in the summer heat in Phoenix AZ.
I will never understand why people will do that.
All guitars are is wood and glue.
All glue will soften up in a hot car or truck when the temperature is over 100 degrees!
One of the five guitars even had the fretboard come off along with the bridge.
I did wind up fixing all the guitars.
But I questioned some.
Been cheaper to buy another guitar.
Thanks! I don’t understand it either but I guess people get busy and forget about their prized possessions.
Does fish glue taste of fish? That's the main thing lol
Ps any update on the electrocuted guitar body?
It doesn’t even smell like fish. Which is good. Not a fan of fish.
I’ve been filling the electrocuted guitar with a burgundy metallic resin. But the contours are impossible to get in one go because they aren’t flat. Same for the edges and round overs. It’s been diabolical.
@jonahguitarguy the resin I use takes 2 - 3 days to fully cure and needs to be kept level.
I can imagine the difficulties of contours. I often build dams and stuff then over fill to allow for shrinkage. Maybe have to use a big dam on a contour and use a lot of resin lol
@@nsjguitarsakascotsman6989 yep, I’ve been taping in places to form dams but it’s just a lot more sanding or carving.
@jonahguitarguy for sure, I find the belt sander pretty good but of course I've now set up the router sled which is brilliant.
Maybe worth experimenting on a spare piece with kitchen cling film to hold the resin in-situ while it goes off? It would blend around contours easily. It's not something I've tried but it should theoretically restrain the resin locally while it sets. May take a couple of goes? I used to drench Genklene solvent over residual Tedlar laminate adhesive on panels when changing decorative trim. Covering with layers of blue workshop tissue paper really slowed down the solvent flash off allowing it to dissolve the adhesive layer enough to scrape clean. Messy business!
