Brilliant, Beau!! First, that jig was superb. If that were my guitar, I'd actually ask you to leave that repair exposed with just the shellac. That was BEAUTIFUL by all counts. Thank you for the share!!

[@BeauHannamGuitars]

Thank you Sammy. Gotta route away all that bad wood :)

Incredible work Beau! Thank you for making this video to share with all of us. I do admit I watched until the end ONLY to hear Stairway...the disappointment will subside!

Looks like a great opportunity for a headless conversion. I was never too crazy about those surfboards size, 12 string headstocks.

[@BeauHannamGuitars]

Hahah- they are long!

[@ramsayward6582]

Top quality repair and results. I owned an Ibanez double neck many years ago. Weighed an absolute ton, so never really used it much. It was great to look at though. One of the many I wish I'd kept.

[@BeauHannamGuitars]

Thanks- this was a bit heavier of course. I’d buy one for the cool factor for sure- I don’t need one but after this and playing it I want one!

[@supersonicnomad8437]

NEW SUB! Your channel is a wealth of information! The way you take the time to explain everything is absolutely fantastic! "Whiter than Vermont" made me chuckle lol. Cheers from Indiana!

[@BeauHannamGuitars]

Hahahha- thanks :) My newer videos form the last few years are way better quality then the older ones (but thats the same for everyone usually) . thanks again.

Awesome repair! F... the paint!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😎😎

[@BeauHannamGuitars]

Hahahahha thanks

[@stevencurran7656]

Wow he makes it look so easy,I had an epiphone g-1275 custom double neck and I dropped it and broke the twelve string headstock ,never sounded the same wish epiphone still made them good guitar

[@BeauHannamGuitars]

Sorry you broke you guitar and I hope you got it fixed well.

[@johnherbold5451]

Wow. That was the first time that I've seen a broken headstock on a doubleneck!! I used to have a mid-70's doubleneck, but it had those huge, ugly "volutes" on the back of each neck. However, I didn't worry too much about my necks snapping off either!!

[@BeauHannamGuitars]

Hahahha- I saw they are doing a Jimmy page reissue double neck!

[@redspecialist9072]

[@BeauHannamGuitars]

Thank you 😊

[@brianmascarin3875]

Nice job. Love the versatility of your router jig. I'm not sure that I buy that the solvent in the topcoat disturbed the color coat if was sealed with a few coats of polyurethane. Are you using 2K or single shot poly? I also doubt that the pigment in the wood is going to migrate through the CA film. Is it possible that the color wasn't quite opaque but it wasn't noticeable until the gloss topcoat was on? Watching on my phone I can't see the issue. The repair looks really good. Nice editing too.

[@BeauHannamGuitars]

Thanks. I used twonpart urethane from Cardinal. When I sprayed the color on, the new wood showing through was definitely not there. Then it was there after a few days. One day I redo the rest on scrape and see what happens.

[@stevepetergal]

First thought was “Of course, the 12-string head broke off.

[@BeauHannamGuitars]

Hahahha- it had to be that one! Hahaha

[@younkinjames8571]

When feeling your work with your eyes closed, put a piece of paper towl under your fingers. It will help you feel something your fingers cant. Dont ask me how it works.

[@BeauHannamGuitars]

Really??? I’ll try that, thanks 😊

[@redspecialist9072]

I would call that Fregato.

[@BeauHannamGuitars]

Hahaha- I had to google that one

[@gregoaks4413]

one would think ANY double neck guitar would have a problem with alignment of the 2 necks , is this a problem or dont buy one until ya try it out ?

[@BeauHannamGuitars]

The alignment wasn’t the problem (the necks were where they should be). It was just the headstock that broke

[@roughcutguitars]

I've used same-species wood and CA for smaller repairs than this, but always used Timberate for an overall porefill. Don’t always like how it 'imposes' its own hue on the finish though. Was going to try Aqua Coat per Robbie's endorsement (hate dealing with epoxy-based stuff). Now I'm wondering about this as an overall job. Not sure how practical that would be - amount of product, toxicity, sanding, how it receives top coat on a natural finish. Thoughts?

[@BeauHannamGuitars]

I don’t think the pore filler material matters at all if it’s an opaque color (it matters if it’s a clear coat or cherry burst kinda thing)

[@roughcutguitars]

@@BeauHannamGuitars Right, that's why I'm pondering for natural finishes - meaning the plain wood - no color, no burst, but not feeling any grain friction. That's been difficult w Timbermate - leveling the applications and teying to get the bulk off so it doesn't keep tinting the wood but risks re-opening the surface to feeling friction. I think that much CA will just be too nasty to deal with. Have high hopes for Aqua Coat.

[@BeauHannamGuitars]

If you wipe a thin coat of shellac on the wood before you grain fill you can minimise the pore fill staining the wood surface - but sometimes you need that to get "the factory look" @@roughcutguitars

My brother just bought a Gibson EDS1275 double-neck over the past summer. That poor soul paid well over $7,000.00 for it. *Yikes.

[@BeauHannamGuitars]

Sounds like a lot but I have no idea what guitars are worth these days

[@johnherbold5451]

Oh yeah, it's a good chunk of U.S. greenbacks to buy Gibson's version of the EDS-1275 double neck guitar!!

The music is so unnecessary and annoying.

So is this comment 😉

[@woohoolabtheory]

Superb work with great engineering solutions.

[@BeauHannamGuitars]

Thanks so much :)

[@woohoolabtheory]

I feel like the shellac is the culprit in terms of the yellowing. I don't think the spirit shellac forms an impermeable barrier. So it's possible the tannins did bleed through. and the lac itself leached its amber colour through the nitro finish which would have reactivated the shellac.

[@BeauHannamGuitars]

Quite possible. I did CA glue over it though. One day I’ll figure it out!

[@woohoolabtheory]

Could the acetone base of the CA glue have drawn up the tannins? I've sealed raw wood wth acrylic laquer and then used nitro cellulose over that.

[@BeauHannamGuitars]

@@woohoolabtheory maybe- it’s all up in the air at the moment. A lot of layers to be confused by! Hahahh I’d love to experiment with this
