New here. hi!

Not refinishing. I bought it because I saw some kid lugging it over his shoulder in school, from very far away as well. I thought it was my idol's guitar at first.

Welcome Buxom. Mr. Ramone is a mighty fine guitar idol to have, and I certainly can appreciate the "I'll keep it the way it is," mindset, but I too am curious what's underneath that white overcoat.

Another type of glue might be preferable . . . Titebond, for example, or an epoxy.

If you post a photo or two of the headstock issue you're trying to repair, perhaps one of the LTG members who has extensive experience with repairs can offer some advice.

I talked to a tech about it. He said for the kind of crack (considering how small it is) runny superglue would be my best bet. I did use runny glue, and it sucked itself straight into the cracks, then I clamped it up and let it sit. It's very stable now.

All I need is a new tuner and the blender switch replaced.

Also, the tech was very surprised. he said the last time he saw a guitar like this was 1983.

It's mahogany. The whole neck is missing all the paint from heel to headstock and it's raw wood.

But yea, I pretty much started learning their songs cause they're fun as hell. and cause they've been my favorite since i was really little. Blitzkrieg Bop is the first song i ever air drummed to.

Welcome Buxom! :mrgreen:

hi!

One thing about this guitar pisses me off to no end :evil:

The tuners can not grip a little E for shit. That's it, modern Grovers.

I wish I could find the sweatshirt in this screen grab, a black zip-front Ramones sweatshirt with Gabba Gabba Hey on the front and Johnny's white Mosrite on the back.

The screen grab is from this Corner Gas-inspired Gemini Awards skit.

That's great jacket, but for me, it's usually leather or nothing.
