Headstock repair

[Wayniac]

Well, you may remember this:

I repaired it the day I got it, and it has held all winter and through the wet spring. Just wish I could touch up the slight crack and the missing chunk near the tuner.

Nice repair! And WOW, that's some gorgeous pieces of birdseye on those two blanks!!! PS, I think it will rock!

Nice work. How 'bout some pics of the rest of the guitar?

That neck looked beyond repair. Amazing that it plays now. I guess the split stopped right at the nut? Didn't the logo'ed part of the head stock break at the nut?
Good job!

Thanks guys!
Jackson1 - yeah - I bought it with the full intention of a replace/rebuild, but figured I'd give the repair a shot first. I lucked out that the split was in that direction (no string tension pulling on it). Plays great, but I need a change of headstock
Jimmy - here you go:

Very nice repair. Nice looking slab of birdseye maple too. That guitar will really look great if that is going to be a one piece neck with that birdseye as the fretboard.

Thanks Slash !
Yep - I had 2 of those necks made - 1 with a 2 1/4" heel, 1 with a 2 3/16" ...
I think one will be going on this guitar, and one will be going on my bloodsplattrer GMW body...
