Gibson Les Paul ... Broke and now Fixed [Pics] - GoFuckYourself.com

Twisted Dave · 09-26-2006, 09:02 AM

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

pornguy · 09-26-2006, 09:06 AM

Not a bad job.

Twisted Dave · 09-26-2006, 09:12 AM

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

BluewireAngie · 09-26-2006, 09:14 AM

Cool!

WebairGerard · 09-26-2006, 09:18 AM

nice work indeed. enjoy that les paul again!

I have an '88 Standard and love it.

Twisted Dave · 09-26-2006, 10:11 AM

Yeah... mine's an '89 :D It's lush to play :D

RandomNinja · 09-26-2006, 10:11 AM

Wow! Nice job!

HAPPYPEEKERS · 09-26-2006, 10:14 AM

woohooo looks great!

MaDalton · 09-26-2006, 10:29 AM

as long as the sound is right and the repair is not affected by the tension of the strings - good work!

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.

E$_manager · 09-26-2006, 10:48 AM

So you have played for a long time enough sfter reparation that you can say he did a good job.

Twisted Dave · 09-26-2006, 05:09 PM

Well, it's two days and the geet isn't going out of tune at all

I'm VERY happy so far :D

Burridge · 09-26-2006, 05:12 PM

nice. id be real sad if that happened to my es335.

CaptainHowdy · 09-26-2006, 05:12 PM

Great work

!

Spunky · 09-26-2006, 05:13 PM

Damn..that was cheap..you can hardly notice

PerrieBelle · 09-26-2006, 05:15 PM

I'm so glad that you got it fixed...
Now I don't have to hear you moaning on about it being broken

I'm kidding!
Glad you're back to your happy self

<3

Drake · 09-26-2006, 05:19 PM

1/10 the price, good stuff. How do they fix it? Glue + ?

Twisted Dave · 09-26-2006, 05:21 PM

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...

tony286 · 09-26-2006, 05:21 PM

cool just make sure for a while no one is in front of you when you play it lol

jonesy · 09-26-2006, 05:23 PM

madawgz · 09-26-2006, 05:28 PM

you dont even notice

rodney25 · 09-26-2006, 05:31 PM

Fucking cool, dude! Looks like you've just brought a new one.

squishypimp · 09-26-2006, 05:35 PM

glad to see everything worked out for you

Twisted Dave · 09-26-2006, 05:36 PM

Thanks :D I'm glad too !!! :D

msan · 09-26-2006, 05:55 PM

Wow good to know it's fixed

Mr. Romance · 09-26-2006, 05:57 PM

Mr. Romance

sniperwolf · 09-26-2006, 06:45 PM

ok.. glad you got that fixed..I wonder what happened

Herb Kornfield · 09-26-2006, 06:49 PM

Glad to see your axe is back ....

I just got a new Marshall half stack here that Ive been working out on.

tranza · 09-26-2006, 07:02 PM

Looks pretty good now......

hezochiah · 09-26-2006, 07:05 PM

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.

Nice

I run this badboy through a JCM900 head (4500), and a Marshall cab...

sounds fucking incredible :D

marketsmart · 09-26-2006, 08:29 PM

good thing you got it fixed

gecko · 09-26-2006, 10:44 PM

nice patch up

BusterBunny · 09-26-2006, 10:47 PM

i'd pluck it

Dagwolf · 09-26-2006, 10:48 PM

I want a Les Paul.

And I don't even play guitar.

SongRider · 09-26-2006, 10:58 PM

Damn good work..... I HATE to see a fine guitar get damaged like that but glad you got it fixed right.

I knew an asshole who instead of paying me 100 bucks to fix his right like yours, put 2 LARGE wood screws in it.... looked awful..... and actually caused MORE damage by putting 2 huge holes in the neck.

ImLost · 09-26-2006, 11:07 PM

nice guitar and fix

Holy Shit! LOL!

Klen · 09-27-2006, 05:14 AM

Hey can you tell me how to fixed?I have guitar who is also broken.

Twisted Dave · 09-27-2006, 06:05 AM

take it to a guy who uses titebond glue and clamps ... if you try it yourself you'll fuck it up.

Who says he wasn't ? I immediately knew who he was... I didn't reply to it because it wasn't a replyable post... or at least, certainly didn't NEED a reply

Les Paul is a pioneer... moreso than Hendrix or Clapton etc...

Les Paul invented Multitracking, and developed and invented various modulation techniques, and of course one of the first guys to hand build and develop the solid body guitar (famously the Les Paul came from this!).

Oh yeah... I knew who he was.

Crasy Bitch · 09-30-2006, 06:36 AM

Really nice quit. man

its all good - i was just messing around with everyone but was still surprised that there wasnt at least one person that would acknowledge him.

he pretty much pioneered multi track recording as well as a ton of other shit and things outside of music.

the dudes a fucking genius and cool as shit.

Twisted Dave · 09-30-2006, 05:01 PM

;) yeah, I wasn't having a go

Good to see people know who he is ...

E$_manager · 09-30-2006, 07:53 PM

Nice fixed. Hope it will be alright in future too.
