- Witness the skilled hands of JDKustom as we perform a comprehensive repair and restoration on a Gibson Herb Ellis guitar, ensuring it's ready to rock once again! In this video, we showcase the meticulous steps taken to repair the headstock and restore the guitar to its former glory. Here's a glimpse of our process:
Headstock Repair: After a previous repair, we expertly reglued the headstock to ensure a strong and durable bond. To reinforce the repair, we crafted maple reinforcements with slots using our CNC machine, providing added strength and stability.
Precision Restoration: With the structural repairs complete, we meticulously refinished the guitar in a stunning sunburst pattern using nitrocellulose lacquer. Our skilled craftsmen at JDKustom ensured that every detail of the finish was perfected to match the guitar's original aesthetic.
Buffing and Final Setup: Once the finish had cured, we carefully buffed the guitar to a mirror-like shine, bringing out the depth and beauty of the sunburst finish. Finally, we performed a thorough setup to ensure the guitar played flawlessly and was ready to hit the stage.

Thank you very much!
Beautiful repair and restoration. Nice work.
Thank you so much for the compliment, Stay posted for more!
@@jdkustom You're very welcome. I worked at Tom Anderson Guitarworks for 10 years. I never learned repair work, only new production. You do excellent work!
That’s a badass guitar sweet job man
Fabulous craftsmanship! Like to see A.I. compete with that! 🙌
Thank you so much for the compliment! I agree with you about AI, as good as it is it still had a way to go.
Wow, that was a pro repair. I'd trust buying that guitar. Top teir repair for sure!
Thank you so much for the compliments and for your support!
Stay posted for more!
I'd like to see that neck after a year or two when the different materials have had chance to expand and contract. I hope that the guitar maintains its history of having been repaired. Great job, though.
Very nice work.
Thank you! Cheers!
It aint a real Gibson unless its had at least one neck repair. 😂
Hahaha thats true😝
Maybe it’ll stay in tune for more than one song now though.
I love Gibson, and the other day I went to see the "guitars on tour" at a local shop in Canada. The Gibson guy offered me a free hat, and I said, "Im afraid I'll break my neck if I wear it." He was pissed.
@@RByrne🤣🤣
What amazing job
You guys are the salvation of guìtarists!!❤
This is one of the best compliments I have ever received!
Thank you so much! 😎
If ever you wanted to know the strength of wood glue, I feel the need to point out that the headstock did _not_ break at the seam where the angled headstock piece was glued to the neck.
Good point! The glue join is typically stronger than the wood, issues arise mostly when a previous repair was poorly performed, this is where reinforcements are a life saver!
Amazing job!
Thank you so much!
Amazing job 👍🎸
Thanks a lot! Really appreciate your support!
I wonder how much difference it would make to alter the 2 fill in spots to kind of have a random zig zag sort of pattern like how they do dental fillings.
Why maple for the support biscuits?
Good question, it is very strong, it does not expand as much and it colors in very well with spraying.
Probably cost as much as the guitar 🤔JK. Very cool. Thanks 👍I’d probably just buy another one. 5k on reverb.
Wouldn’t doubt it tbh
Richard you should bring your guitar for repairs in Johannesburg, we charged 5k in South African Rands for this procedure🤔 That's about 260 dollars depending on the exchange rate...
It's worth doing for us as a labour of love and for our customer his sentimental attachment to his precious instrument in this case.
Thank you so much for watching our videos and for your support! Regards to you from South Africa😎
Wow that is an excellent job for the money
Can the CNC do the primary carving on the splines?
It definitely can! It is an invaluable tool in our workshop!
If you look at our video ua-cam.com/video/jsdoRMEMQWc/v-deo.htmlsi=Y6EHA6O0lSkxCg_J you will be able to see the maple splines being cut!
Thank you so much for watching!
❤❤
Rimango sempre affascinato da tanta professionalità e competenza nell'esercitare un lavoro artigianale!!!!
Thank you so much for your compliment!
That's a known weak spot in Gibson's neck design. The wood grain is shorter in the area where the break occurs.
What are you using at 1:05 of the video?
We utilize a low viscosity cyanoacrylate glue to effectively seal the surface of the crack. This technique aids in ensuring that the finish covers the affected area seamlessly, leaving no visible blemishes after a thorough polish of the clearcoat. We hope this information proves helpful to you. Thank you for watching and for your ongoing support!
You just read my mind. JDK thanks for the reply.
Bro that is a nice fucking g shock with the bracelets you've got going there! What's the model?
Thank you so much brother, it is a GWG 1000 1adr Mudmaster, it has been on my wrist for 5years and it totally bullet proof!! I absolutely love that watch!
After gluing and clamping, why route out more material?
It will make it stronger for the next headstock repair 😮
Good point! The glue join is typically stronger than the wood, issues arise mostly when a previous repair was poorly performed, this is where reinforcements are a life saver!
@@klank67 hahaha, hopefully it doesn't break again!
Why yhe airbrush? Looks good one color
The airbrush was used to camouflage the crack and the reinforcing maple inserts, you can see the sun bursting was done in a way to match the neck heal so as to keep uniformity.
Thank you for watching 😎
:PRS enters chat:
😂
i would have left the battle scars
We do get those requests sometimes
First of all, these guys did a fantastic job. But what’s interesting is the number of videos showing this same type of neck break (and the same type of repair). They've got it down to a science. It's almost as if Gibson neck repairs have become a cottage industry. Are all Gibson players just careless klutzes? Or is it a design flaw? 🤔 Makes you wonder.
It's a known design flaw with all angled headstock
Design flaw
@@chn92694 Then it's not a flaw.
Hmmm. No close up of that neck repair.
Will do so for you on a future video.

Такой престижный бренд, и такое низкое качество древесины. Сейчас, каждая третья гитара, из пересушенной древесины. Сам мастер, куча епифонов и прочего хлама из Юго-Восточной Азии. В основном, ремонт головы
😂
🤣
Just buy a stratocaster ffs😮
I say you need both!
G.A.S. (Guitar acquisition syndrome)
@jdkustom multiples of both. Lets be real here.😅
@@RByrne I fully agree🤣 It's a real thing!
Overpriced junk. If it’s not the necks breaking, it’s the finish cracking or peeling. I’d rather go ESP for single cuts.
I don't play guitar...but from body language that guys who look like HIM guitarist He seam don't recommend people to repair the broken neck guitar....He be like my maple wood vibration been filter by condom in middle... talking about value, value really high , especially for movie props display items in studio "don't touch that guitar! cause it limited edition!"... talking about band like God an astronaut, they more prefer Telecaster with Les Paul neck...look really amazing but neck won't fix in for past 23 years ago...every wood block not fit in, if they DIY in garage, everything is shacking and fragile.
Translation anyone......?
😂😂😂 "He be like my maple wood vibration been filter by condom in middle..." 😂😂😂 Thank you so much for your compliment bro!
Used that fancy machine ZERO SKILLS
I beg to differ. It takes massive skill just to know how to operate that so called "fancy machine", and how is it any different than setting up any other router? Both required extensive knowledge to use. What next, are you going to criticize that he used an air gun to apply the finish? What about the buffing wheel? Perhaps that makes him unskilled? I'm guessing you'd end up cutting your finger off if you had to use these kinds of tools because you certainly don't understand them or you'd have never commented the way you did
You are clueless...
Man
For the thousands that a person pays for a Gibson ……….
Would never happen !
Работа класс, один вопрос, как так можно расхуярить гитару 😂😂😂
