RE: Headstock cracks from tuner scre... (in reply to tele)

Hi all, Since the original picture was taken from an article I wrote, I feel I have to jump in... ;) (By the way, no wrong doing here whatsoever Tele...) In the case that is shown, the crack was not only old, but filled with wood putty (some bad repair attempt). So I had no choice but to do this (see picture), which is pretty similar to what Anders explained. That said, if the cracks would have been fresh, I would probably tried to slide in titebond (not let it wick in, but rather push it in using a thin spatula, or some thick paper), close the crack with clamps and call it a day. Hide glue would have been just fine, but I'm just not a hide glue kind of guy... My 2 cents... P.S.: The tuner holes were filled because they were too big and misplaced, not because of the crack.
