Ghastly headstock repair.

[Jeff]

Quote from ad addressing the headstock repair.

There may be concerns about the neck so let me reassure you, though it was broken and a crude puddy job was done, the 40+ years this putty has been setting has made it harder than a damn rock...I guarantee it. The neck holds tension, holds tune, and is strong as hell, it just looks ugly.

Love that G-string tuner, thats vintage. Nice inlay too.

OMG. Yes, "ghastly" is a perfect word!

Was it repaired by a welder?

^ That's clearly auto-body!

It was probably tuned by a welder - so it would stay in tune.

Naa, I keep a box of horshoe nails around to fix my gits when they get broke. Galvanized so they don't rust.

That way you don't have to worry about the humidifier rusting the screws?

Is that a "G shield" on those nails?
