    T-100D Headstock Repair - is there a common way headstock cracks?

    Thanks, yeah that's mainly why I decided to pass - a proper repair would put me in the same range as just getting a better condition T-100. I did offer 550 and he didn't bite so I wished him luck.

    T-100D Headstock Repair - is there a common way headstock cracks?

    Thanks I was wondering about that, it didn't look right and after taking a look at one again in person I spotted it. The search goes on!

    T-100D Headstock Repair - is there a common way headstock cracks?

    Thanks, blunt is definitely welcome! I noticed the tunes as well, and I feel like it's a "known repair / restore" if purchased. This Slim Jim has been around for sure & probably was gigged. Rest of the guitar shows all parts are original, seller doesn't think it's the original hardshell case...

    T-100D Headstock Repair - is there a common way headstock cracks?

    Also, this break pic indicates this T-100 I'm looking at may have this kind of injury. In the pic attached -- your typical wall-lean or floor-laying heartbreak ("I'll just leave it here for a sec and put it in the case / onto a stand in a minute...") where a little kiddo comes along...

    T-100D Headstock Repair - is there a common way headstock cracks?

    Thanks man, love that story - wow I can't even imagine how relieved you felt when that guy was all like "ain't no thang" and fixed it for you. Very cool. I don't know if sled I was in looking at is that well of a repaired state, but I'm definitely enjoying just talking to folks and hearing...

    T-100D Headstock Repair - is there a common way headstock cracks?

    Okay here's the pics I requested, looks like a 1966 from the serial I can tell it was never a case queen and looks well-traveled and probably gigged, non-stock tuners. But seller swears by it sounding great and not having any issues. He says she's a player, for sure - but really don't have...

    T-100D Headstock Repair - is there a common way headstock cracks?

    Thanks, the few sleds with repaired headstocks I've held and played it always looked scary - but I was lucky in that they were all well-done repairs and sounded fantastic. I don't like lateral crack repairs, I feel like they could twist or something - but then again, I suppose if the right...

    T-100D Headstock Repair - is there a common way headstock cracks?

    Love it! I'm gonna like it around here. I was mostly aiming to if there was type of cut to their mahogany neck that made crack direction etc hard to repair --- but as that is probably not a thing with this vintage guitar design, I'm becoming more confident that this might yet be a...

    T-100D Headstock Repair - is there a common way headstock cracks?

    Much-thanks for the replies thus far, I agree most any sled made of wood will crack or break if knocked off the stand, or dropped a certain way. I almost wish someone comes along to say "T100D always had this one kind of break, and yeah super easy to repair and go get that axe...." but I know...

    T-100D Headstock Repair - is there a common way headstock cracks?

    So I'm looking at an online, can't touch, T-100D Slim Jim that has a headstock repair. The person selling has zero-idea of the type of crack, who repaired it, or any history beyond "it plays great and sounds great" --- yeah, they always say that. Anyway.... The price of this sled is so very...
