2003 Gibson Les Paul Double Cut Faded [7.0 lbs] :: headstock break
This was a classic Gibson headstock break repair. Photos of the initial break here and photos of the clamping setup here.
Below is the repaired headstock without any finish touchups. Note that this break happened one year ago and was just repaired last week. I'm very happy with how well the break closed.
2003 Gibson Les Paul Double Cut Faded :: bad kitty
Yet another broken Gibson headstock on the bench. This one was caused by a player's cat knocking the guitar over. Worse is that he was there to witness the whole thing happen. Bad kitty. As far as Gibson head breaks go, these ones are usually straight forward as it is still attached with no missing pieces (but it has been broken for about a year so the pieces might not line up perfectly - we'll see).
For an example of a nasty break, see the '65 Epiphone Olympic.
