It's an Epiphone. Who cares? It's like the Ovation of the electric guitar world. |

I've got poor man's/Luthier's.... 335 by Ep*phone and they can be pretty nice once you set them up well and replace the electronics. I picked it up for my friends to play when they come over so they don't have to schlepp anything to my place. And yup, it's a black one too. Duct tape is never a good idea on headstock, neck breaks. The residue requires naphtha to remove and that can soak into the wood/joint and contaminate things needlessly. We advise folks to reduce tension, support from all side, don't mess with it and get it here soon. |

I am far from a repair guy, but that break looks to me like a clamp-up nightmare. |

It'll take a little more time and I'd have to make a little bit bigger caul, but it should come together well. Hesh, I think that's the R2 duct tape reissue. Chris likes to tantalize me with these things... |
