Excellent job.

Very cool repair. You really go the extra mile to make these repairs seamless 😊

Plastic food packaging works well for pushind glue into fine cracks.

Surprised that Gibson didn’t sue them for the name. The hardware looks very good on that and the headstock design is neat. Japan makes fine instruments but they had a shaky start in the ‘60’s. A lot of their stuff was very quirky. I am thinking that the strap button in that area might trigger the crack; I’ve seen it happen before. As always this is a top notch repair, dear sir!

Great repair, would tightbond work on this type repair😊

Another fine repair job. Looks great again.

Iron Maiden? Right on!

How does such a crack develop? Was I playing seesaw about 400 times too often - ie, stand on the headstock, the other foot on the back binding, or maybe standing tippy-toes on the strap button? Or maybe I was paddling down the river, holding the neck and headstock in two hands, and digging deep into the river? I thought it was a one-time mishap crack, too, but it's so small and so evenly placed, I think thinking it's an "over a long time, stresses broke it."
