Very Complex broken Neck repair on a Gibson ES 339 Custom Shop Guitar in my Luthier Workshop.
This amazing Guitar has unbelievable background Story.....
The owner of this Instrument contacted me about 4 years ago from Guatemala and asked me if I can take care of his Guitar.
He bought it from a famous local Musician and after a short time of owning it he get confronted with a very common issue of Gibson Guitars
"A broken Headstock".
He found a Luthier colleague in Guatemala who glued the Headstock crack but it doesn't last for long and so he contacted me to take care about this issue.
So four years ago I have made 3 splines and recorded this process and uploaded the series on my Instagram account. And this repair series actually "Sky Rocket" my social media.
So therefore this Instrument is a very special for me. And after the owner moved back to Germany he consider a gleu joint issue..
He asked me to take care about this and so this instrument once again landed on my Workbench.
It was a real pleasure to see it again and to work on it...But this time I have recorded a couple of extended Repair Videos from this complex repair and I welcome you to join the First Part ....
I will also explain and show a couple of "Luthier Hacks and Tools" in this Video. So if you are interested in my Luthier Craftsmanship stay tuned and enjoy the Video. I love doing stuff like that - if you are interested in more of my Luthier life Projects, please feel free to check out my other extended Workshop Videos on this channel.
Enjoy watching and sharing.
Best Regards Nik
