Utterly fantastic job on the repair of this guitar, with deep and profound thanks for the time and hard work you put in. The guitar looks as good as new and the customer's brother can rest easy with this very happy outcome!
Thank you for showing this affordable method, most luthier channels while they do amazing work are also showing very advanced and time consuming methods that aren't applicable to every guitar. Even if I did have a broken Gibson I'd still be more than happy with the level of repair. I don't mind seeing a little damage here and there, I'm not one to be bothered with shiny mint condition guitars haha 😂
Happy birthday Les Paul and thank you for inventing the solid body guitar in the Epiphone factory 1939 - 41..if not for you and Epiphone there would be No Gibson Les Paul today period!..Also I would Add that Les Paul played Epiphones especially recoding from the early 1940s to the end of the 1950's..when he was under contract with Gibson..Gibson eventually to him to stop and when his contract ended with Gibson he started playing both epiphone and Gibson Live I should know saw him in March of 2009..
This is a major design flaw of the Les paul. You would think they would either reinforce the neck at the factory or change the angle. Good job on the repair! This is a reason a tele or strat is a better option for some people.. they are harder to break!
I built a giant volute with epoxy and fiberglass on my epi les paul about 10 years ago ugly but strong. It has since face planted on concrete without breaking although some finish was damaged on other parts of the guitar.
I’ve owned and currently own over a dozen Gibson/Epiphones for over 30 years, never had a single issue with headstock breaks, and I’m not precious with them. Sometimes I wonder what folks are doing to them....
Gibsons are a thing of the past Epiphones are the way to go seems everyone wants them since JC Curleigh restored Epiphone back to top professional quality in 2019..sad to see that epiphone brake like that its usually a Gibson that breaks like that they are notorious for that type of brake
@@corneliuscrewe677 well it's about how hard you try to break it - go full Townshend and smash it into your monitors ooooooooooor let if fall over and it doesn't even hit the headstock ;)
I’ve been playin for more than 50 years. I’ve worked hard and done ok money wise. Maybe at this point I don’t want to play a $800 guitar, been there-done that. What do you care where I spend my money?

First time I've seen this repair presented in a way that makes me feel like I could handle it. Nice job!

Nice strong economical repair using some interesting techniques.
Excellent and creative repair!!
Smart repair, well done.

Use wood glue to bond the two parts. That joint should then be stronger than the wood. Then use the splints to strengthen the neck.

A different angle would make it NOT like they were built in 1959. And so people wouldn't buy them.
They did all those things and switched to a 3 piece maple neck in the 70’s, and people whined like toddlers about it. They are STILL whining about it.
Nicely done, sir!
Nice repair!
Nice work!
Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic !
What wood was the neck made of,it looked like pine or a softer wood. Nice job you did.
excellent job, sir!

Looks Great!
I had a bass headstock I fixed still holding !! Great job bud this is luthier porn !!! . great idea with wicking the CT glue !!!
Did the owner say the model? Ik it's a newer epiphone I just love that finish
Wow, it just fell over and didn’t strike anything. Question, would it be prudent to get the headstock on my Gibson reinforced before I have a break?
Just take care of it. Keep it in the case when not in use.
Any guitar with an angled head stock is likely to break if it falls. Not only Gibson.
It happened to a Charvel and an ESP that I had.
Gibson should start shipping their guitars with maple splinted necks! Get ahead of the problem! 😆
This is why I don't own any Gibson guitars, and only one Epiphone Les Paul. Most other manufacturers don't break so easily.

@@corneliuscrewe677 I had a Les Paul Jr arrive with a broken headstock. The box was undamaged.
Looks good! Is there a reason why Gibson fretboards always look open grain compared to other brands?
Did you make that splint template yourself? If you did you should sell them, I would buy one for sure.
No, had it made by laser cutter.
I call those 'splines'.
Skol?

Lol😂 no
Autofocus making me seasick
I really wanted to watch your video but the focus breathing of your camera is very rough on the eyes. Please turn the auto focus off.
well I thought Epi headstocks couldnt break bc of the shallower angle huh...yeah...just like Gibsons..but keep buying those investment pieces boomers
Even had to edit your comment 😂
All guitars can break. No idea why this myth exists.
