Chipped Jackson Kelly Headstock

[SylentCommando]

I was just wondering if anyone else had any options on how to fix this chipped piece in my Jackson Kelly Guitar. I talked to Sully and he suggested graft a piece of wood on to the end and shape it to match. I was just wondering if anyone else had any idea's. I have posted pictures of the damage.

The Sully knows.

DO you have the piece that is missing? If so glue it back on. If not then do what Sully said, he knows.

Welcome to the world of pointy headstocks.

Personally I just leave em...

Nope, I don't have the piece that's missing or I would have just glued it in. The guy I bought it off of, bought it off a guy in Germany and had it shipped here to Canada, it was this way when he got it, so the piece is long gone somewhere I Germany lol. I would leave it, but don't want it to get worse if I bang it. The black front still has the point.

oh ok, lol. I just got a hold of a Jackson headstock, from a mij 2001 guitar, that my friend broke the neck at his gig. I could probably use a piece of that for the repair.

Just going to use some epoxy at the tip. Luthiers here want like $200 bucks to fix it, and I am not paying that.

I've had luck just going to WalMart or some place like Home Depot and getting a little yellow can of maple or mahogany wood filler. I've even done it without any glue. Just smash some of that filler into the damaged area, let it dry and come back with some sandpaper and shape it out. If it doesn't stick, add a little glue.

In fact, the last one I did looked exactly like yours before the repair.

Sorry if this breaks protocol I am trying to upgrade my Jackson S Kelly
and I am not sure which pickups I need P90's Humbuckers, or single coil ?

Can anyone help me with this, please?
