How to Repair a Broken Headstock 💔 Beau Hannam Guitars and Ukuleles

If you enjoyed this video please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to help my channel grow!- Thanks so much.

This video is a 2.5 hour deep into how to fix an extreme (almost right angle!) headstock break. This is the worse break i've seen due to the angle of the break and it being a 12 string guitar !!!!

In short, I:
1- I epoxy the two parts together.
2- Make a custom radiused jig to route extra deep splints for each side of the truss rod.
3- Add a back strap, which goes really deep for a super strong fix.
4- Add/Carve a new volute for extra support.
5- Spray black stain.
6- Mix clear nitro so no buffing is required.


I delivered this guitar back to the customer in under a week.
