  • I've got a classical wreck with a broke off head. This might be the solution. It might make a good reso with your stick build head?
  • A true testament to gorillas. It looks way cool and old time.
  • I'm calling this a test of faith - no dowels or pins- just 'Gorilla Glue'. The center rail is set into a slot in the neck that's about an inch-and-a-half deep so there's plenty of surface area for the glue to grab. the outside rails - not so much. I gritted my teeth and wore eye protection the first time I tuned it up but everything held. Now I'm playing it in and will see if the glue holds. 

    So far; so good.

  • Are there dowels or something holding the rails together?
  • Thanks, fellow CBGers. 

    I wanted to try something a little different on the headstock of this build.

  • I'm with Bluesheart. Wow on you heads. Like chair construction.
  • Love that head!
