BCR Greg Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Well....Here's what we started with...... Yuck. Signed by THE MAN, hisseff! So the parts are off.... And it gets uglier...... Peel time! OH. MY. GOD. I never saw a festering headstock repair before. Time to go get some counseling. Using microwaved damp paper towels to steam off the glue... What's REALLY under there... Verrrrrrrrrry NASTY! It broke like shuffling a deck of cards. The front after cleanup.... Break line on the bass side, clamp compressions, general ugliness.
svl Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Question I just gotta ask- why shoot it so dark? Wouldn't you want it to blend in better?
