    Smashed tip of headstock. Repair or send back?

    I have an odd one here. Just received a dinky that pierced through the packaging. The headstock hasn't broken off or chipped, it's just smashed and collapsed. How would you go about repairing something like this? Would it be difficult with my basic woodworking and finishing experience? Can it...

    Headstock Refinish Planning (Need Advice)

    Hello all, a while ago I acquired a MIJ Les Paul Custom. It was really dirty and had had a headstock break that was repaired but badly refinished. On closer examination I realized that the two concave binding pieces to the sides of the trussrod cover had been scraped off inconsistently. One...

    Chipped Fretboard During Nut Removal

    Hey all, I was removing a nut from a Squire Classic Vibe Telecaster neck and it seems that they used a ton of superglue while installing it. For the record, I tried a gentle removal by scoring the edges with a knife, heating the nut to soften the glue, and gently tapping it with a...

    Help: hard case for Jackson Soloist/Dinky

    I might need a hard case, since Jackson does not include any case with the Pro Series Soloist. I have a very limited budget and I can't afford the Jackson branded Dinky/Soloist case, but I don't want a soft gig bag - it's a neck-through model and I care about it. I live in Europe and I am...

    [Help] Headstock damaged during shiping, is it fixable?

    Hey! I recently sold my guitar to a guy in the US and during shipping the tip of the headstock was broken off (2 small pieces) and headstock binding was obviously messed up as well :( I have no idea how hard they must have thrown the case because I especially made sure to wrap the headstock...

    Ibanez Headstock - burnt finish

    Hey guys , I started refinishing my ibanez grg a while back. The progress on the body is going quite slow , as i don't have much time to work on it . Meanwhile i decided to refinish the headstock. I sanded it down to 320 and then burnt it on a butane flame.

    Hardshell for Jackson JS32-7Q?

    Greetings! Thanks to hovering around this forum, I have acquired my first seven in the form of one of Jackson's entry level seven string Dinkys. I cannot for the life of me find the discussion I once saw here about cases for these Jackson seven strings with the giant headstocks so I figured...

    Need some help from people who can draw!!!

    So here's the deal. I'm building a sevenstring for myself but I'm pretty stuck at one point- the headstock. I have some ideas, but I need someone to realise them. The main one is sorta Parker-Blackmachine-Skervesen-ish with some stuff that has to do with ancient daggers (I know I know, pretty...

    NGD: Ibanez Premium RG827QMZ

    I got this guitar like a month and a half ago, so it's a late NGD. Still, I have some pictures for you guys to enjoy. The day I got it: Awesome body, I love that quilted maple! String change. I was planning to rub some lem-oil on the fretboard but as I found divided opinions about it...

    Matching Headstocks or go home

    Am i alone in thinking that it looks pretty bad to slap a black headstock on a white guitar? Even other colors look pretty bad. I would have a hard time buying a black cherry guitar with a black heastock. This must be a way for guitar companies to influence people to buy their higher priced...

    Feedback on two bodys for 7str build

    Hello good people of ss.org! I am working on mockups for my next custom build - a super-strat 7 str. I've drawn two bodies, that I really like, and now I've lost that critical eye on things and need your help. Which do you prefer - or better - which seems the better overall looking guitar? I...

    Headstock refinish in the UK...

    I'm looking for a professional to refinish the headstock on my ET baritone conversion neck. I may or may not have said this in the past, but the finish job was initially unsatisfactory (it's worth noting that Ernie gave me a rebate on the body for this). Despite numerous attempts, it just won't...

    RG7321 HELP- pickups, tuning, and case.

    Ok I've been wanting a 7-string, Ibanez preferably, for years. (My main influence, stereotypically, is Korn. But I want to write my own music now.) After reading hundreds of reviews, I've come to the assumption that UVs; higher priced ones like S7320, Apex 1 & 2, RG1527; and ones that are...

    New From Ibanez = Reversed Headstocks!

    Reverse headstock?

    What's the advantage? I figure it makes the low strings tighter and the high strings looser, but how much so? How does it figure into your playing? Sorry for all the questions lately, getting a custom guitar built :lol:
