Re: headstock repair

Post by tippie53 »

getting closer Today I put on the top and back veneers. The head plate was originally .620 so I thinned the head plate so I could put a back veneer on. I also took some off the top so I could thicken the top veneer. These veneers hide the work underneath but will also add a great deal of strength to the repair. I stained the back so I can see if the color matches. Still have some finish sanding to do but feel good about the color.

got this strung up today object was to keep it old looking so no gloss up. The guitar sounds very good the refret helped with the playability , the veneer tie ins made the repair tight. My customer is very pleased.
