Broken Headstock

[decypher37]

My brother bought an ernie ball music man EVH modle guitar with a warantee about 9 or 10 years ago, passed away 6 years ago and I inherited the guitar. I left it in it's case for around 6 months then finally got it back out and went to change the strings and noticed a small crack in the headstock. Since it was holding strings I figured that it would be ok to change the strings. Oops, bad Idea.
As soon as i started tightening them i heard a bad craching noise and looked up t see that the crack had gotten alot worse. I need to know how much this would take to replace and where do I send it. Thanks

Your best bet is to call Ernie Ball Music Man Customer Service they can help you out with all your needs.

As Fing says try CS.

However headstock repairs are possible - of course, by a good luthier not a back street hack!.

My friend has his own business in the UK and could do this repair (but I guess you are in the USA ?).

I've seen loads of Gibson headstock repairs performed by him which generally involves cutting wooden rails into the back of the neck/ headstock.


Hope it works out for ya.
