How is that still staying together? You'd think that with string tension that side piece would just separate from the rest of the head.
I have to point out what a monumental bit of ridiculousness this actually is!
1. This was not a sustainblock, nor a sustainblock trem guitar, Exhibit 1:
2. The only other possibility would be a Kaher guitar. However, we now have (Exhibit 2):
WONDERBAR!
This, gentlemen, is a Kahler Prototype II with a broken headstock, upgraded with a Washburn Wonderbar (trem arm not included)! Yours for only $1,095 (direct) or $1,100 (Reverb) and free shipping!

I just had a thought (mostly because of the 0.88" 1st fret neck measurement):
Ditch the WonderbarTM
Fill the Kahler void with a nice slab of hog
Mount a Sustain Block
That would make for a cool guitar, but also significant cost. The Sustain Block alone is $165.
What would be a feasible purchase price for the husk? $350?

Well, it's not a husk until you remove all pickups, electronics, tuners, strap nutteroos. Dig me?
Generally speaking, glue is stronger than wood.
This is not a testimony of the repair on this guitar. This is one you'd want to look *really* closely at before having any thoughts of exchanging money.
Nope, nope, nope.
Yep, same here - love the look, can't deal with the skinny neck.
