My Guitar Neck Just Cracked! (Pic) :( - GoFuckYourself.com

Twisted Dave · 09-08-2006, 10:44 AM

The guitar (Gibson Les Paul Standard) just got knocked and fell flat on it's front... I heard the snap

This is a fucking beautiful guitar and plays like a fucking dream... I'm hoping I can get this fucker fixed good... it's gonna cost me

Especially in the UK...

Anyways... Gonna go cry now

MaDalton · 09-08-2006, 10:47 AM

my condolences - i know an instrument can be like a girlfriend

thehand · 09-08-2006, 10:52 AM

That can be fixed easily, send it back to the Gibson custom shop.

Twisted Dave · 09-08-2006, 10:53 AM

I'm in the UK
And it's gonna cost me!

J. Falcon · 09-08-2006, 10:54 AM

Lots of people here that could fix it including gibson.

Im in Nashville btw. Not a big gibson fan though, but they are nice guitars.

WebairGerard · 09-08-2006, 11:10 AM

great guitars! good luck with the fix. a good luthier should make her sing again no problem.

hezochiah · 09-08-2006, 11:11 AM

Damn dude, sorry to hear that. I know I would be totally bummed if that happened to my LP Standard, but it does look like it was a clean break which should make for a solid fix.

You in the UK ?

If so... how much did you pay ... ?

hezochiah · 09-08-2006, 11:14 AM

Also, check out the Gibson Forums at http://www.gibson.com/relations/foru...n=topics&fid=3 because I know there are some UK guys on there and they may be able to point you to a good place to get it fixed...

fuzebox · 09-08-2006, 11:19 AM

OUCH that looks awful

But yeah as the others said, fix should be easy

Mr. Romance · 09-08-2006, 11:21 AM

that sucks...nice guitar

Mr. Romance

Nylz · 09-08-2006, 11:30 AM

Sucks

post a pic of the guitar, wanna see what it looks like (the color, ofcourse I know what a Les Paul looks like

)

BluewireAngie · 09-08-2006, 11:48 AM

ouch.... hope it'll be fixed soon. Good luck!

HpicAnn · 09-08-2006, 11:57 AM

No, I'm in LA ....but I used to have a Epiphone endorsment. I would argue that it's a design flaw, or bad neck from the factory and tell them in fell softly on a carpeted floor. You might get a whole new neck for free

carol.prime · 09-08-2006, 12:05 PM

oh man... that's pretty hurting! That's a nice guitar

demented · 09-08-2006, 12:06 PM

Damn that sucks when that happens. It's actually a common problem with LP necks. Should be able to get it fixed though

Good luck!

dissipate · 09-08-2006, 12:22 PM

I had the same thing happen to mine, it's fixable.

Drake · 09-08-2006, 12:42 PM

she's hurting ;(

sickkittens · 09-08-2006, 12:43 PM

Bummer. And I thought it was bad when I put a chip in my bass drum.

Ace_luffy · 09-08-2006, 12:50 PM

totally sucks.........

Almost the same exact break as yours.

I feel ya man, it sucks. I remember standing in one spot staring at it not wanting to believe what I was looking at.

Good luck getting it fixed up

a1ka1ine · 09-08-2006, 01:16 PM

my friend says:

[21:14] : oops
[21:14] : looks bad but headstock breaks are easy to fix
[21:15] : tell him to take it to his local guitar shop, they can glue it and clamp it and it will be good as new for about £75
[21:16] : when it's fixed the glue sets harder than the wood it's fixed to, guitar techs fix crap like that all the time

doesnt sound so bad, i hope it plays the same!!

Lykos · 09-08-2006, 01:22 PM

dont beat ppl with guitar,use basseball bat

Try £200 ... and I've been advised that a simple glue job is not a good idea... Gibson repair shop use glue, AND then do some wierd thing that covers the whole area and more to give it strength and flexability.... So I'm waiting on a reply from them...

madawgz · 09-08-2006, 01:32 PM

that sucks, i hope you get it fixed soon

Violetta · 09-08-2006, 01:33 PM

should be pretty easy to fix!

tranza · 09-08-2006, 01:42 PM

Damn, that sucks bro.

smack · 09-08-2006, 02:08 PM

ugh damn. i would be in tears.

i have abused alot of guitars over the years, thankfully i haven't had anything that bad happen yet.

hope you get it fixed man, a les paul is a terrible thing to waste.

Twisted Dave · 09-08-2006, 04:40 PM

It is ... and I wont waste it ... just gotta get it to the shop soon!

It's a 1989 model and it's simply beautiful!!!

Vitasoy · 09-08-2006, 05:48 PM

Well that certainly sucks

czarina · 09-08-2006, 05:49 PM

I'm so sorry. It looked like a nice guitar too

Twisted Dave · 09-08-2006, 06:18 PM

I can get it fixed

Just gonna cost me

Spunky · 09-08-2006, 06:24 PM

Well worth the investment to get it fixed

tony286 · 09-08-2006, 06:50 PM

you figure its so common of a break on les pauls, gibson would of addressed the weakness.

Twisted Dave · 09-08-2006, 07:04 PM

It's probably a playing thing ... it's not just Gibson's that have this issue ... many other manufacturers have the same problem.

I just can't wait to get it fixed!

People ... come and order some toons so I can get my guitar fixed!!!

msan · 09-08-2006, 09:07 PM

Feel bad for ya. Hope it gets fixed.
