Last time we visited this subject David's resonator had the head snapped
off. Well my good buddy Ralph Luttrell of
Luttrell Guitars
used some kind of space age glue
and
reattached the peg head. It's really strong and probably wont ever break
in that spot again. The trick was getting glue into all the cracked areas
then clamping them without squeezing out all the epoxy. I decided not to
touch up the original paint or try to hide the repair. There are so many
chips and cracks in the finish all over the guitar that the repair doesn't
even stand out. I lubricated and reinstalled the tuning machines and she
sounds great again. One of these days it needs a mch heavier overhaul but
it's at least as good as it was before the head was broken off. David was
so happy he smiled for an hour. As I was leaving he made sure I noticed
his case he got to keep it in. No more leaning instruments against the
wall.
Below are
photos of the repaired neck and whole guitar.
