    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...

    Where can I buy a Floyd Rose bridge that ISN'T a complete POS with terrible quality? 😡

    So, to begin with, what you see is a blue Agile Interceptor Pro, and an Ibanez RG170 that I restomodded (I Floyd Rose swapped the RG, the Agile is 100% stock except for the pickups). Initially, they were very reliable guitars, but both of them have started to have this problem where their...

    Think my Xbox One power supply is defective. Don't know how to fix or replace it.

    Maybe a dumb question but the power brick on my Xbox One seems to have given up the ghost. It works when the console is off but the moment I turn the console on and it draws power the brick shuts down and the LEDs go off. I can then reset the brick, reconnect everything and get LEDs again but...

    Quick glue repair question!

    Hi y’all, I recently imported a guitar to the states and one of the points unfortunately came in damaged, which is odd considering how well the guitar was packed. I wanna try glueing the tip back on. Has anyone repaired this type of damage with just super glue? Or would I need to get proper wood...

    Hum on "new" Charvel. What to check?

    I got one of those Danhage sigs a while ago. The construction and feel on this thing was nice out of the box but the setup left a lot to be desired. I am a tinkerer so I didn't really worry and changed it to my liking. It took a little more than my other guitars but it's playing great now. I...

    Can you help diagnose ground noise in my wiring?

    Hi all, yesterday I replaced the wiring in my guitar. I put a push pull Tone and a new Volume from Bourns in it. I used the available on/on/on mini toggle from ESP. I have all grounds connected to a ring. One from each pickup, one from the bridge, one from the output jack and one from each...

    Refinish holes in my Horizon

    Hey all, I have one of these turquoise/aqua finished EII Horizon 7 Fr fiddles that I love. It came to me with extra screen holes under the trem cavity cover. I have been trying to fix them over the weekend but could need some help. I used toothpicks to fill the holes and leveled with the wood...

    New EHB just purchased has rough neck

    Hi all, I just bought a new EHB1005 during the Black Friday sales. The bass is ergonomically perfect in my opinion. The fretwork is great and the tonal options are better than anything I have ever owned from Squier and the like. It really is my first good bass. The neck on this one is really...

    6505 + (5150 ii) R.I.P. Powers on, but no sound.

    Greetings everyone at seventring! As the title says, I have power but no sound. The amp was fine the previous day. I'm guessing there was a power surge in the middle of the night that cooked something because the wiring in my place was done by a drunk monkey in 1968. It looks like pin J81...

    Can you recommend a luthier or skilled techs in VA or DC for a refret?

    I have been working on a Japanese Les Paul Custom whenever I had time throughout the year. I fixed the binding, changed the electronics, restored the broken neck and headstock. Refinished it as good as I could to a satin finish and attempted to work on the frets twice. The first time I just...

    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...

    Loose output jack.. changes/alters tone??

    Hello guys, I'm posting this here because I think luthiers would be the most qualified on this topic. So recently the output jack on my Ibanez RG7421 became loose, and it was annoying when i was pluging the cable in and out, so i was twisting it a bit back with my fingers so it will stay still...

    Whats The Best Guitar Maintenance and Repair Book?

    Hey Guys, I'm looking for a good Maintenance and Repair book to have around to I don't have to pop on the computer to research all the time while adjusting my guitars. If it specifically deals with floating trems, extended range guitars, and is spiral bound that'd a plus!

    Restore or Try Again?

    Good morning. After playing guitar in various styles over 9 years, I finally decided to buy a 7-string. I bought an Ibanez RG7321 for cheap (~$100) knowing it was beaten up with the intention of fixing it up. I didn't check it out sufficiently, however, and it turned out to be in worse condition...

    USB Port Broken! Repairable? [Zoom G5]

    The plastic USB (type B) port on my Zoom G5 came loose, I tried soldering it back on but failed. The 2 metal prongs on the pedalboard is kinda messed up, one is slightly broken I think. The plastic port is pretty wrecked, but spare part replacements of this are cheap. Would an electronic...

    Reverb Not Working On Only One Channel Of My Mesa?

    Hey guys i wasn't sure where to post this at so i threw it in here. I bought a second hand Road King 2 the other day, love the amp but it does need a couple new pre amp tubes (i hope) as my channel 4 suddenly starting running at very low volume. Around the same time this happened my reverb...

    Randall Cyclone help?

    I found this wonderful amp in a pawn shop and had to have it. Once I got it and hooked it all up, I noticed something quite annoying. With the gain on 1 or above, I get an ungodly squeal that will only go away if I switch to the clean channel. I run four cable method with a line 6 board, a...

    [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...
