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

:Oh crap

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

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

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

that sucks.

Lots of people here that could fix it including gibson. :winkwink: Im in Nashville btw. Not a big gibson fan though, but they are nice guitars.

ouch. R.I.P.

I had the same thing hapen to my 335......

that sucks

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

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 ... ?

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...

OUCH that looks awful :( But yeah as the others said, fix should be easy :thumbsup

that sucks...nice guitar

Mr. Romance

Sucks :(

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

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

Haven`t seen this could happen to a guitar!

Strong hands ahahahha

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:pimp

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

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!

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

she's hurting ;(

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

totally sucks.........

Man, that picture brought back some bad memories!

Had a beloved Alvarez acoustic given to me by my Father when I was 16yo. Played it almost daily for 10+ years and grew rather attached to the thing. One day I sat it aginst the wall began to wall away then heard all hell break loose. Suffered the same fate as yours by falling on it's face except the neck broke completely off. 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

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!!

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...
:(

that sucks, i hope you get it fixed soon

should be pretty easy to fix!

Damn, that sucks bro.

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.

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!!!

:(

Well that certainly sucks :(

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

I can get it fixed :) Just gonna cost me :(

Well worth the investment to get it fixed

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

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!!!

Feel bad for ya. Hope it gets fixed.
