You know, people say I'm lazy, but I LOVE work. I could watch Dave do it for hours.

[@Kaiveran]

Props to Gibson for being an early pioneer of the headless guitar! #Legends

[@jelleepit]

Watching you work is now my relaxation therapy. You give of some laid back vibes it really calms the spirit. Especially late at night.

[@jltrem]

Yea!!! A real Dave repair and not just a set up.

[@johngeddes7894]

I’m in awe of your electronics and finishing skills in particular. Not only those, but they are real standouts to me.

[@michaeldiamond76]

that stuff is amazing! I found it on ebay and I needed something to seal of a little divot on my les paul neck on the side below the nut. She fell off the strap WITH STRAP LOCKS and hit the floor. Could have been worse but it drives me crazy knowing it's there. I thank you for your vids as a working father of two kids I have little extra $$ for sending out repairs so with your help I'm able to get it done myself with the occasional gooch.

[@bobmeiroff7302]

Amazing job Dave, you're the best.

[@Mournblade7]

I watched a video of a guy using this stuff to do a full guitar body finish. It looked really nice. Glad to see it is a good product after all

[@DanielTPeace]

Wonderful work Dave. You are an artisan. Thanks for sharing.

Great job Dave🤘

[@harry9392]

That's on heck of a repair Dave

[@jeffb6542]

Excellent repair. Interesting and informative, and the real extra good news is I think its safe to say you don't have head lice.

[@SOOONJE]

Oh man you are brilliant

[@northvalleyroad4570]

Very cool repair...love that stuff..also the uriiah heep shirt. That was a great band

[@williamwhalen7764]

Glu-boost rocks, great stuff.

[@In_MT]

Wow, what a save!

[@Bealzeebozzo]

Man great quality repair on that Bass headstock mate. I couldn't even tell that it had been fudged with Dave, let alone a full break like you described. Very tidy work on that Les Paul too mate.

[@onpsxmember]

I'd love to see the video, but I guess there is none of the first try on that product.-.-

[@stephenlevendusky1283]

Cool fix

[@irishwanderer4206]

good job man really good job

[@vassili87]

You're the best

[@SixSixthSix]

Great video!!! Good Entertainment!!!

[@vmat1000]

Nice work, Dave. Had me wonderin' trying to trickle glue down the sides of the damage. The pins should hold i'd like to say forever, but...:). I have a circa '83 Cort Arrow with a headstock repair. I always feel if it wasn't for that 3" long truss rod cover the headstock would have broken off when it fell in '00. $150 used in '96 and buy of the decade for me. I think i spent $60.00 on the repair Even though the damage can be seen, it's still in one piece.

[@demurets]

You save people's sanity, Dave.

[@30smsuperstrat]

Nice! Have you ever done a video on the so called "proper headstock repair by local luthier"😆 I see one pop up on craigslist seems like once every three days, with small cavities, cracks, and lumps and all kinds of mess. Absolutely nothing like the proper repair you just did! Nice work!

[@ejtakach]

I like this kind!

[@terrysmith6442]

You can do it Dave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@gcf7175]

Just ordered my gluboost. Thanks!

[@onpsxmember]

Where did you order it? Directly of the company? I just looked on ebay and amazon and couldn't find it-.-.

[@onpsxmember]

What colours are you using? EDIT: I'm dumb. Didn't realize it's a full system. I thought you're already loaded with all kinds of colours to mix and match.

[@JRGladwill]

dave+superglue-huff=superdave

[@wingracer1614]

I've been seriously considering building a kit guitar or getting a Warmoth body for my old beat to hell P Bass just so I can try doing a CA glue finish on it. The couple I've seen look absolutely stunning and seems durable as hell.

[@wingracer1614]

You're too damn snarky to be a shill. Keep it that way, LOL.

[@robwillox7033]

I think using the auto polisher is an awesome idea. How do you defeat the moment switch? Love the stuff btw, all my guitars have nice sets up now.

[@stevencrash]

Great job Dave! But how did like having strings on it again? Just curious to hear it played after such a traumatic break.

[@moleman1961]

Nice cover job! I always end up with my arse stuck to my ear with CA! Ha!

[@PNgaia33859]

It's a Dave Master Piece, Gibson in name only.

[@sidneysnottley6414]

Nice one. :)

[@raymeraudio]

Damn, Your Good!

[@unclechuck5635]

That was a masterclass. 👍

[@lipptech1]

Love the Uriah Heep T-shirt !!!

[@geralltwilliams2811]

We call glue boost mitre bond in the uk. It is excellent for all kind of jobs.

[@kevinpaul1719]

Good Luck and no excuses! I have used hide glue for years and never a problem or a come back.

[@budude2]

I saw another utuber do the entire guitar finish with GluBoost - rock hard when done

[@budude2]

lol... but I was excited!

[@tomfoolery2082]

Like the tshirt loved that group growin up. Are they still at it?

[@maxpuppy96]

JB Weld is a life saver, so many things that would have got tossed are around because of JB weld

[@DriveCarToBar]

I know you can finish a fretless fretboard with CA glue, having done it with the Yamaha I converted after watching Dave's old video on it.

[@mlj654]

Hi Dave, I am a luthier as well, and am using Gluboost products. I recently fixed a cracked neck 's scar on the back of the neck's finish and it came out pretty good, but I did have a problem with the masking I used sticking to the fill n' finish. In this repair what did you use for the masking material? BTW, I sub'd your channel cause you seem to be doing tings much like me, and I learned some stuff watching you. Good Stuff! Thanks.

[@randalkeller2866]

Love the Uriah heep shirt

[@DeadKoby]

It's now a Gibson Les-Broken.

[@thefire5871]

Anybody know where I can buy or order Semco Artists Series Linseed Oil made in Canada? I went to semco website "all products" but didn't find it, nor did I find it on Amazon. What brands of linseed oil you recommend nowadays Dave (and where to get)?

[@johncartelli]

whats the brand red tint powder?

[@growapair3880]

Awesome work! What name brand tint and color are you using there? it is a perfect match for my Gibson I'm about to repair

[@DavesWorldofFunStuff]

GLU BOOST

[@fuddly123]

You seem to know your Fece's man !!!!

[@Wraith35]

Ok, back to the schwazz!

[@OdinHammersmith]

Great job Dave. Did you ever consider putting a stinger on the back?

[@OdinHammersmith]

On the headstock. I've seen them there on other Gibson's that have had neck repair. Just curious

[@HARwinsOUTagain]

Davey Notification Squad!

[@onpsxmember]

Yeah Uriah Heep! Amazing live band. Saw them a few years ago and they blew away lots of the young bands. The first thing that W.A.S.P. did on stage, was to tell everyone how they inspired them. Love it. There is a compilation Album called "The Golden Palace" (not the song itself) that just works as a great best of playlist. Albums are very cheap. Btw...great repair! You got the Gluboost, the Fill and Finish Pro and the Colour Matching stuff. When you talk about clear you mean the Fill and Finish Pro stuff? What's the colour company? 7:40 Did you make a video for that broken headstock? I'd love to see it. The main re-glueing was also GB wood epoxy or was the surface enough for titebond?

[@danieltrickey9285]

Nice to hear Uriah Heep is still playing. Saw them in Berkeley, Ca. in early 70's. Savoy Brown and Fleetwood Mac opened for them.

[@johnb5519]

Is that glue from luthier supply?

[@Ottonic6]

Dave, you never showed us the final result (up close). I was waiting to see how it turned out.

[@teejay202020001]

How about a closeup Dave

[@AnthonyBurrito1313]

Healthy and clean scalp my friend , Congratulations

[@wyattsdad8561]

Can you get the same or similar results with regular CA? I've done a few drop fills on my strat neck with regular ca and it turned out really good. I had looked into using the glue boost but it seemed pricey for what I wanted it for.

[@onpsxmember]

There are tons of different CA-Glue. It's not all the same. The thinner it is, the faster it cures. Some CA glues are getting very milky after curing and some turn yellow-ish after a few years. So at least one that stays clear and goes well with tints would be needed. It all depends if the repair is worth it. But in this case, the tinting only in the crack area is less work than sanding everything down and spraying with the airbrush or in the booth. I can recommend the pages from Henkel online to get to the glue you want or you can call them for free. There is CA-Glue that allows a bit when a bit more flexability is needed. Others stay totally transparent so you can see through, some can bond even hard to glue plastics...worth looking into. Also, if you got a decent glue you can tell exactly how much temperature is needed to make it brittle again. Like for flooding fretslots from the side or something else you might want to take apart again some time without ripping it apart.

[@MiikeyLawless]

My experience is that it all blushes and is a real pain to work with. This stuff seems great.

[@jesterraj]

what polish is that ? will it take out swirlss as well?

[@DavesWorldofFunStuff]

that would be swirl remover

[@gregmirr]

Would like to have seen the guitar strung up , see if it stays in tune .

[@DoppelgangerShockwave]

Hey, Dave. I've got an Epiphone Dot with a broken off head stock. Would Gluboost fix a complete repair, or is it only good for cracks like you used here? And if so, what do you recommend for a total head break?

[@DoppelgangerShockwave]

Did you? I'm sorry, man. I must've not been paying attention to that part. I'll re-watch it again. Thanks.

[@wingracer1614]

There's lots of vids on youtube on fixing them. Lots of different methods as well. Which one to use kinda depends on what kind of break it is. Sometimes you get a long but clean break with lots of surface area. Pretty easy to just coat with wood glue and clamp up. Others you have very little surface area to glue so you need reinforcements. And others blow up and fall apart into tiny bits. Seek professional help.

[@onpsxmember]

I'd also recommend the dan erlewine video on broken headstocks. It was uploaded in the last two years. You can't miss it on the stewmac videos. He digs out lots of the loose splinters and explains a lot.

[@MichaelBLive]

I can smell it a 1000 km away!

[@budandbean1]

I love ya Dave but I swear, I could see that headstock flying off and smacking up hard against the “Dave’s World of Fun Stuff” Banner you had hanging there. I owe you an apology O’ Great One.

[@gregbaker6215]

So did it string up ok? Do it stay in tune? You musta been in hurry, or something idk. Just curious how it faired with string tension and all. Thanks Dave, big fan, again. Don't ask, rabbit holes were involved. Lol...

[@voided76]

I get the feeling it's a go in after job finishwise. Feller stated in the vid he had the owner play it for a while to make sure the repair wasn't going to blow out and fail again, no sense in painting it if that happens yeah? it was likely a month or so after the repair was actually done if I had to guess.

[@onefatstratcat]

I feel a bit traumatized today.. I need a good buffing :)

[@RussellRoud11]

Ok, I have a question... I've seen you do a couple of headstock/neck repairs. Aside from keeping the original serial numbers on the guitar, why wouldn't you just replace the neck instead of repairing it?

[@marions.120]

Last I heard new neck from Gibson is over $1000, plus sending them anything there is shipping and insurance cost, and it takes forever.

[@charliechrist7537]

Those wood pins fucken brilliant

[@Fazman81]

Why no splines??

[@wyattsdad8561]

How much do you think all that glue boost product was? Good job man.

[@ianc4901]

Less than a new guitar

[@MiikeyLawless]

depends on the guitar lol..

[@craigtullius9613]

Hey Dave, first, I watch your adds!

[@lolocfmjpwp0kjcxsa]

That's nuthin' I also watch his subtracts

[@mattrogers1946]

Instead of trying to be first, try playing you guitar, or try to learn how to spell instead...SMH

[@BlackCatBonz]

Bring back the volute

[@Oldpigsass]

Folk are quick to blame the extra degrees of Gibson's head stock angle for a weakness in this part of the neck, but really, how about not dropping it in the first place.

[@ianc4901]

Damn right ! If you want to do gymnastics while playing a guitar, invest in strap locks, then you won't risk expensive repairs after every gig !

[@Kaiveran]

It's not the headstock angle that's the issue, it's the fact that they use a single piece of timber all the way through, letting the wood grain create a natural "fault line" at the headstock...and *on top of this*, they remove a chunk of wood from an already structurally weak area for truss rod access, rather than a stronger point such as, say, where it joins the body... I get what you're saying, and everyone should exercise caution with their instruments, but the fact of the matter is...shit happens, and owning a Gibson puts you at a distinct disadvantage WRT damage to your musical output and/or wallet in the case of said shit happening.

[@Kaiveran]

Ian Clarke Strap locks are a gift from the heathen gods of demon music, I agree. Every guitar should have them.

[@onpsxmember]

It's a bad design and they know it. It's more likely to break and you can drop all sorts of other guitars with a volute or just with a little less angle. They might break at a really hard drop but Gibsons break like crazy. Repair guys know it...you just get tons of those compared to other guitars. As Kaiveran Lugheidh mentioned, the other reason is the grain that becomes short grain because of the change in angle while the wood fibres point straight ahead. That's why multi laminate, opposing grain and the flipped reglueing in the first few frets ala Ibanez is much stronger. Still, the lesser the angle the less likely the break at a vertical drop on the back.

[@alecjahn]

They can also break without any force other than string tension. I was at Guitar Center (shame, shame... I know) and one popped a few feet behind me while sitting, untouched, on a floor stand.

[@randytingle2416]

Maybe an stupid question... but what about the fingerboard?? Was it broken all the way through??

[@randytingle2416]

Or do they break above the nut. ?I’ve always owned strats and teles.

[@redspecial8935]

Glue boost will Jack . It will break again without proper reinforcement.

[@robertkorn]

Hence why the neck was epoxied and pinned, the glue boost was only used as a filler.

[@daddiojones238]

If your not gluing, you're filling! Super glue is not for filling! And the accelerator makes the glue less effective!

Beauty, eh!
