Can someone FIX my son's Guitar?

[waylon]

It fell off of the guitar stand and snapped at the head. PLEASE tell me something can be done to fix this. Also a rough estimate as to what this would cost would be appreciated...

[RFBuck]

It COULD be fixed...but she'll never be the same again, sorry to say. Hate to see this happen...makes me cringe.

It would probably just be easier to find a new/used epiphone neck. Im not sure what kind you guitar that is, besides epiphone, but i saw some necks on ebay you could check out.

This is an epiphone Les Paul Custom (with three pick ups). It has a set neck. Can it still be replaced?

There is a guy here in Williamsburg that told me he can fix necks that are broken and general guitar repair,his name is Frank Russo. Do you want me to get his number for ya?

If anyone could do it, he could. And with everything I have ever had done by him I'm always pleasantly surprised how cheap his rates are for the quality of work I got.

ouch! thats the problem with those types. sorry to see that, i've seen them fixed, but i could never depend on that axe again, buy a new neck and find some one that can do the work. don't waste your money fixing that break. just my opinion.

Definitely could be fixed. If fixed right, there will be no worries on the integrity of it. The glue joint will be stronger than the wood. I would take it to Marc Prave in Curwensville. He's the best luthier around.

any guess on how much it would cost to get fixed? i'm guessing 150- 200, plus time and fuel to run to curwensville

id like to see a repaired picture

fixing cracks sucks ... that ones ridiculous and id never attempt it. i did fix a crack through the body and into the neck cavity (and so far no one has noticed it til i pointed it out to em lol). and it didnt break when the strings were put on it - woot!

- kayla.

Not sure on the cost. I definitely don't want to quote for someone else. I have seen his repair on a neck-through bass that was literally splintered into several pieces. That fix also had the truss rod to deal with. So I know he's capable. He's a very qualified luthier.

that doesn't look to bad, i've repaired set necks that have completely lost there heads. it only takes two c clamps and some good glue. and if you pay to have it done thats how they will fix it too. they rarely replace the whole neck when it is set. the price to replace the neck would be more than buying a new guitar, and the headstock repair is normally between $100 - $200. I'd just take your time and fix-it yourself. most guitar repairs are just common sense. check out guitar repair sites on the internet.

i don't know if you live in altoona but you could take it to the emporium to tom brown he might be able to help. i hope the best for you and your son's guitar.

When i lived in Pgh I had a neck thru bass with almost the same damage fixed at hollowwood music. They glued it then drilled 2 holes and glued pieces of dowel rods in the hole. strong as new and cost $100.
