I am simultaneously baffled at the audacity for someone to actually try this on a real Gibson and also amazed that it actually worked and sounds great. This was an awesome video!

Just a few weeks ago, I was at a Guitar Center and saw THREE Gibson/Epiphone guitars in for broken headstocks. I remarked to the tech that somebody should market a readymade kit for luthiers to convert a decapitated Gibson into a dedicated headless guitar.

As someone who loves Les Pauls but hates Gibson, I think you just made the perfect guitar.

[@fiftyghoststrading8500]

Holy shit. I'm going to buy an early 60s LP and do this!

[@lueysixty-six7300]

Why..??! Just get a modern one (anything from 90's onward). Early 60 s will cost you stupid money - and the value will plummet from even minor more, let alone something radical as this. If you wanna experiment...start with a Les Paul that has no pre existing sentimental value. So early 60's model is just a few years after the ultimate Holy Grail year, and considered highly collectible in their own rights... An Epiphone wouldn't be an altogether bad idea...

I'd feel a lot worse watching this video if I hadn't just got back from the guitar shop with the same guitar but a 99. You are a mad lad but it somehow actually works and looks cool to me.

[@MashaT22]

Sweet, you got one of those KD Patented bridges! They’re on lots of popular headless import guitars - Latitude, EART, ALP, Jamstik Studio, etc. Most people don’t understand how to work them, but they’re really easy to maintain and use once you get past how different they seem. The tuning stability is awesome, the action can be set super low without even needing a zero fret. Not sure how you decided on this bridge, but good choice!

[@sixstringtv1]

It's definitely a great bridge! I had to use one with tuners at the top cause the ones with tuners on the back would've sat right up against the body and I wouldn't have been able to turn them 🤣

[@robspectre1973]

As a huge headless guitar lover….. this was scary as hell! I have to say though, it actually looked cool. A headless single cut looks awesome. Kiesel makes some and they look pretty good.

Well my Gibson never had that head stock break issue because they've solved that problem by using multiple layers of wood.

[@AvACyberSecurity]

Yes! Now change everything else, stick a headstock back on, a 00 on the price and call yourself Ed Roman! Jokes aside, great video!

I do like Gibson shapes, but don't care for headless guitars. This headless Gibson is the first headless that looks the most appealing a headless has ever looked to me, and now I know why; what the other headless guitars miss is a good-looking vintage body.

[@nickalderman5943]

[@brigi7020]

Dude, the hair blowing during the jamming parts is hilarious!

[@Zundfolge]

My first headless guitar was one I made myself out of an existing guitar. It got knocked off its stand and the headstock broke in two so I cut what was left of the headstock off, bolted on an extra Floyd Rose locking nut and routed the body to move the tuning machines to the body. I've had that guitar for like that for 35 years and its always been one of my best playing, most stable and comfortable guitars even though its ugly AF (for many reasons, not just because its headless... I mean its pink with neon green splatters on it ... a local guitar shop used to run an "ugly guitar contest" every Christmas and I entered it several times. Never won though because it was actually playable). This was a cheap Tokai/Strat style guitar and so I ended up putting a tune-o-matic bridge and tailpiece on it and use the tailpiece as basically a big string tree. We didn't have cheap, readily available headless bridges back when I did mine (yeah, I'm old).

[@marvintimke3978]

This should become a common mod for Gibson SG's. Since those have that god damn neck dive problem. On the other hand, it's not that hard to put some extra weight on an SG.

[@michaelgriffin5304]

Absolutely love the way this looks, which is odd for me, since I do t really like LPs or headless guitars but this works. Any headstock repair will actually be far stronger than the original, it is the reason people use scarf joints on guitars. That Gibson can possibly break due to the same headstock angle and a direct slam but it will NOT break in the same place. That glue is crazy strong.

[@cajunboy2k]

Pretty cool mod for a broken les paul, gives a different option as to gluing the headstock on or gluing and routing it out for wood blocks and reshaping the neck

[@sixstringtv1]

I would've done it either way really. Just so happened that the one I bought had a neck break

[@reneebear3641]

Personally I wouldve left the standard tunomatic on & replace the tailpiece with the ali express bridge & use it as a tuner so it still plays a bit like an LP but well done otherwise

I know it's a little to say this, but is there any reason (besides the 300 something dollar price tag) you didn't go with the FRX Floyd Rose? It's designed to be a drop in replacement for the Tune O Matic and I think even has a carved top version for Les Pauls. Great video by the way.
