Rough sanded back, the DIY filler worked ok around the dowel. Looks like I can get away with hiding this under the truss rod cover. I'm feeling a lot better about this fix now.

nice fix Andrew, the dowel is covered and the truss rod cover will suit this build really well.
Up and onwards now !
good job Andrew!
Great fix Andrew! The headstock looks good as new.
cheers,
Gav.
Cheers guys. This had me sweating for a bit but hey, have learned a new skill in the process! Should get my decal just as the head-stock is ready for it!
Nice work, a lesson in how to come back from adversity!
Nice save man, it came out really tidy. Looking good!
Very tidy, Andrew. I swear some screws just break like it was what they were designed to do, what a pain.
Soldering complete. Plugged into amplification and it all seems to be working..
That's the bottom end done. Maybe I should keep this as a one string Djent guitar?
Time to wrap up the headstock then a quick cut and polish
Nice fix Andrew and still one of the classiest SGs Ive seen.
Id keep both E strings. you could always use the high E for some lead style triplets and trills thrown in just to mix it up and push the djent envelope.
Beautiful!
very nice, good job
Almost at the business end of this build. My PBG upgrade parcel is waiting for collection at the post office ☺
Almost done with the tru oil. 10 on the flame, now has a natural shine to it. Neck done. Back and sides one more coat required. Applied headstock decal and now a few coats of tru oil required. Headstock decal is a bit low, and smaller font for next axe.
Then no doubt some fun with the wiring harness!
looks amazing Andrew, going to be hard to top this for April GOTM.
You posted it in the SG-1F thread and not the ES-1G thread !
love that warm tone burst!
what black did you use for the headstock?
Whoops that what a weekend of sleep deprivation does to you!Quote:

Regardless of where its posted a stunner of a guitar Andrew. That burst is phenomenal
Very, very nice Andrew, I wouldn't want to be going up against this in GOTM, she's gonna be a real thing of beauty.
I like it, looks good. This is going to be a very deluxe SGQuote:
