Forrester Kustoms Guitar Repair & Service: Guitar Repair Pics

This headstock was broken completely through, and held on only by the front veneer

I used West Systems 2-part marine epoxy on this repair, which will result in a brutally strong joint with awesome tone transfer

The clamps have been removed, and the excess epoxy has been sanded smooth

After a bit of airbrushed cherry touch-up, coats of clear lacquer are built up one thin layer at a time

After the lacquer has cured thoroughly, I wet sand up to 12000 grit, and hand polish to a factory-appearing gloss

The repair is complete, and the crack is all but invisible to the naked eye

You can see the uninterrupted mahogany woodgrain in this photo

This finished product, tuners and strings installed, and ready to ship back to the anxiously awaiting customer!
