Title: My Gibson Les Paul : Fixed [Pics] Post by: darkmonth on September 26, 2006, 11:58:35 AM Well, as you all know ... THIS happened to my Gibson Les Paul ... I wasn't best happy ... lol ....
(http://www.twistedillustration.com/deliverables/100_3413.jpg) Well, I found out that a Guildford Luthier does fixes for less money ... so I figured I'd see what he said ... he saw the break and I said I didn't want it re-finished... meaning that the guitar would have a tiny break mark... but ... here's the result... (http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e268/twistedillustration/fixedgibbo.jpg) Price? Gibson wanted ?400 .... Guitar Village in Farnham, Surrey, wanted ?200 - ?300 .... This dude... he said since it was easy to fix (he used Titebond... same stuff the others all use) ... ... ?45 :) Yep. Fourty Five UK Pounds :) It's fixed and fine!!! :D You can barely see the break mark in normal circumstances... you can see it worse there coz of the Flash. Well, I chose not to have it re-finished. Hell, the guitar has marks and damage all over it. It still plays and sounds great! The luthier said the break had NO effect on the neck at all :) Title: Re: My Gibson Les Paul : Fixed [Pics] Post by: Alan on September 26, 2006, 12:39:14 PM thats awesome, he's done a good job and not ripped you off at all ;D
