Gibson Les Paul ... Broke and now Fixed [Pics]

Well, as you all know ... THIS happened to my Gibson Les Paul ... I wasn't best happy ... lol ....



Well, I found out that a Guildford Luthier does fixes for less money ... so I figured I'd see what he said ...

he saw the break and I said I didn't want it re-finished... meaning that the guitar would have a tiny break mark... but ... here's the result...



Price? Gibson wanted £400 .... Guitar Village in Farnham, Surrey, wanted £200 - £300 .... This dude... he said since it was easy to fix (he used Titebond... same stuff the others all use) ...

...

£45

Yep. Fourty Five UK Pounds

It's fixed and fine!!! :D

You can barely see the break mark in normal circumstances... you can see it worse there coz of the Flash. Well, I chose not to have it re-finished. Hell, the guitar has marks and damage all over it. It still plays and sounds great! The luthier said the break had NO effect on the neck at all
