    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

      As I say, if you don't use Flash photography, in normal light, it's barely noticable!!

                    I agree with you. Most repaired damages affects the quality of sound. I hope it is indeed a good work. It sucks when you have to adjust the strings coz it gets out of tune from time to time.

                                    They glue and clamp it ... the glue is titebond ... it's used to build boats... :P Also the same glue they use to glue the neck's in ... so it's fucking strong... but flexible like the wood itself ...

                                    I've been told it's stronger than the wood now so if it drops again it will break somewhere else...

                                                            I was wondering if you ever got that taken care of of and I'm glad it's fixed. There's nothing quite like a Les Paul and I love my '79 LP Standard.
