Amazing brother! Thanks for sharing!

Hi Dave, Oddly enough, I tripped on my banjo tonight and caused a similar neck break. Your timely video is most reassuring. Now to find a repair person near here in the Vancouver, BC area. (Even more odd, it's a 78 Goldstar archtop, flying eagle.) Thank you so much...

Ohm man that's terrible. I've shipped instruments to Canada, it's not so bad, esp. west coasters like us. But take a look at the break. The way mine broke was kind of ideal because it went completely with the grain. If it were to break across the grain that's a very different situation and is frequently not repaired, or repairs are very intrusive, i.e. splines, or grafts of new sections. If you like I can look at it, just send some photos to [e-mail]
