Thank you for showing this affordable method, most luthier channels while they do amazing work are also showing very advanced and time consuming methods that aren't applicable to every guitar. Even if I did have a broken Gibson I'd still be more than happy with the level of repair. I don't mind seeing a little damage here and there, I'm not one to be bothered with shiny mint condition guitars haha 😂

Happy birthday Les Paul and thank you for inventing the solid body guitar in the Epiphone factory 1939 - 41..if not for you and Epiphone there would be No Gibson Les Paul today period!..Also I would Add that Les Paul played Epiphones especially recoding from the early 1940s to the end of the 1950's..when he was under contract with Gibson..Gibson eventually to him to stop and when his contract ended with Gibson he started playing both epiphone and Gibson Live I should know saw him in March of 2009..

This is a major design flaw of the Les paul. You would think they would either reinforce the neck at the factory or change the angle. Good job on the repair! This is a reason a tele or strat is a better option for some people.. they are harder to break!

A different angle would make it NOT like they were built in 1959. And so people wouldn't buy them.

They did all those things and switched to a 3 piece maple neck in the 70’s, and people whined like toddlers about it. They are STILL whining about it.

Use wood glue to bond the two parts. That joint should then be stronger than the wood. Then use the splints to strengthen the neck.

Wow, it just fell over and didn’t strike anything. Question, would it be prudent to get the headstock on my Gibson reinforced before I have a break?

I built a giant volute with epoxy and fiberglass on my epi les paul about 10 years ago ugly but strong. It has since face planted on concrete without breaking although some finish was damaged on other parts of the guitar.

Any guitar with an angled head stock is likely to break if it falls. Not only Gibson. It happened to a Charvel and an ESP that I had.

Gibsons are a thing of the past Epiphones are the way to go seems everyone wants them since JC Curleigh restored Epiphone back to top professional quality in 2019..sad to see that epiphone brake like that its usually a Gibson that breaks like that they are notorious for that type of brake
