Sometimes it’s better to repair a guitar you already own instead of buying a new one. In this case 10 years after the accident occurred the owner, Russ met up with me at the Haywire Custom Guitar Shop. We talked about resurrecting his beautiful guitar and discuss this Les Paul Snapped Head Stock Repair
He owns a 1972 one owner Vintage Les Paul. Russ left it and I went to work. It was back to normal in 2 days and Russ will be very happy to have his guitar home again in playing condition! Rick Mariner – Haywire Custom Guitars
