SG Broken Headstock Repair / Replacement
Not your typical broken headstock repair, this Gibson SG headstock had already been broken and repaired twice. The third break proved the worst, breaking even the splines that were used in the previous repair. It was time for more drastic measures and so the old headstock was removed and a new one was grafted in with proper grain orientation to prevent future breaks.
