Stan's Epi LP resurrection...

Cheers Wokka, it's pretty much done, just tidying up and getting the front right - not quite as slick as the pics look

[wokkaboy]

sure it looks great in the flesh Stan, put it this way no one will ever know the headstock was broken off the neck !

Looking great Stan! Such an amazing fix dude.

cheers,
Gav.

Thanks Gav, perhaps I can get a kit finished, haha

Will take more pics when it's all done

looking good there Stan, good that you could keep the original logos on too.

She's turned out really well Stan, I'd be changing that "distinct lack of skill" thing in your sig if I were you.

Great repair job Stan.

I was talking to Bill at Underground in Werribee, and he gave me a little secret for filling holes and stuff. Yeah I know it's a bit late for you, but what he does is apply some superglue and baking powder it sets like concrete, but can be sanded down and painted.

Cheers PK

@ Bargey, haha thanks, it's turning out pretty well. Some minor blemishes and dust to deal with, but very close now

@Jarrod, thanks mate, They weren't too hard to work around. The original clear is pretty thick and they are well protected, and the break didn't interfere with their position

@PK cheers mate, I have heard of that method, but of course didn't think of it at the time,I tried epoxy which didn't work as well (especially trying to add ink to it, that screwed it) and then finished minor dents with Timbermate. You have, however, reminded me of another job where this will be ideal, hiding the plugs in the headstock of my sister's LP

Hi Stan.
All good work.

The epi DR200 I bought has a busted spa under the bridge, so I have spent all day looking at Youtube on how to glue it all back together. I need to get a whole pile of bits and pieces together just to apply some glue. I have to make some 'Brace Jacks' need a light a mirror, a pallet knife(bent scraper). I've also bought a hundred pipettes off ebay, cost $3.40.

Cheers PK

sounds tricky PK.
You could simply measure the inside depth of the guitar and wedge it with a calibrated stick or block!
I have an inspection mirror I got from the auto section of the Green Shed that remains nameless, works a treat and telescopic handle.
