Here's an example of how we repaired a broken head stock on a vintage les paul junior
		This was a really nasty break.
		We realized that some fragments of wood were actually missing.  If you ever suffer a head stock break, keep all the wood, even the large splinters !
		First we had to align and glue the neck.  This was a bit tricky due to the amount of wood that was missing.
		It didn't look to bad from the back of the headstock.
		The top of the head stock is another story.  We had to splice in a lot of wood on the front.  It's important to make sure splices have plenty of surface area to grab on to.
		After sanding and refinishing the guitar looks great.  We added a little color to the neck to blend in the new wood.
		We strung the guitar up, let the neck settle in a few days and set her up.  She playes like day she was built !
