Sorry to hear Especially right before a gig. Sounds like it's time for a new neck. Same break happened to another friend of mine 3-4 years ago, and was fixed. Result was pretty good actually, I found the guy who repaired it and sent the info. I also sended this link to cheer him up a bit; https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/genera...__fix_them.html |

Heradstock breaks are an easy and common fix. If there isn't too much splintering of the wood, the luthier drills holes in both sides (laterally), fits dowels with glue in the holes and then glues and clamps the the whole break area.
Done correctly it should be stronger than it was originally. This post has been edited by klasaine: Apr 26 2019, 02:35 PM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

You're unlikely to find a vintage LP - 70s and older - that doesn't have a headstock repair.
The design of the instrument makes it susceptible to breaks but that design is also one of the key factors in the unique tone of a good Les Paul. *Break angle of the headstock and the thin/shallow neck at the 1st fret and under the nut. It is what it is. Be careful with them. They're musical instruments, not gardening tools. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine
