What would you guys recommend as the best way to repair this cracked headstock? The crack is only partially through and it has no affect on the trussrod function. It's from a 1965 Gibson EB-2 that was destined for the garbage. Other than the crack it is in very good condition. I'm thinking it might be possible to resurrect this old bass. Any repair gurus out there? Thanks! John |

Glue and either splines or do a multi-layer overlay feathered into the neck. Done in black it can almost look stock if the finish is done right. |
