      any guitar can break.

    • @ScienceofLoud
      @ScienceofLoud  2 роки тому +14

      Thanks for this observation - while true, the physical design of Gibson SGs means its statistically more likely that an impact or fall will lead to breakage.
      It's a thinner body and a weaker neck join than most other guitars, add to that the neck back angle and it takes less impact force to cause severe damage to an SG.

    After seeing how much heavy lifting a lot of the "solid" repaired guitars on Reverb look like maybe they did theirs in a dark room with a blindfold, I'd say this is clean enough to sit in that Mod Shop dude, well done!

      I've seen some pretty rough epoxy and bondo style repairs, which just look awful regardless of how stable they are.
      I decided the best thing to do was rebuild and reinforce the wood - use only what would have been there from factory. It turned out better than I expected and I'm hoping it looks nice once the nitro is finish sanded and polished.

      @@ScienceofLoud I've seen plenty for sale that have been "professionally" repaired. May be down to budget, but some reputable names have produced repairs that just look like glue and clamp (gibson headstock breaks). I have also seen repairs on UA-cam which are almost invisible and look stronger with routed section which have strengthening inserts.
