any guitar can break.
Thanks for this observation - while true, the physical design of Gibson SGs means its statistically more likely that an impact or fall will lead to breakage.
It's a thinner body and a weaker neck join than most other guitars, add to that the neck back angle and it takes less impact force to cause severe damage to an SG.
Wow great repair! Nice work! Thank you for the video! May I suggest a sideways Vibrola?! I prefer the look/feel. I would 💯% rock this guitar! The history/story is 1/2 the fun! Cheers 🥃 from Canada! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
This video is totally awesome I have to tell you I enjoyed it very much much love and respect man.🤟
Great work. It's should play perfectly fine when it's finished.
Classified under "Gibson Extreme Headstock Break"
Colin is so good at guiding me through these I end up sitting here like 'yeah, I did a great job repairing that guitar'
Don't EVER apologise for your accent.
It's refreshing to hear a 'non-American' accent. Especially when it is from my favourite place in the world!
After seeing how much heavy lifting a lot of the "solid" repaired guitars on Reverb look like maybe they did theirs in a dark room with a blindfold, I'd say this is clean enough to sit in that Mod Shop dude, well done!
I've seen some pretty rough epoxy and bondo style repairs, which just look awful regardless of how stable they are.
I decided the best thing to do was rebuild and reinforce the wood - use only what would have been there from factory. It turned out better than I expected and I'm hoping it looks nice once the nitro is finish sanded and polished.
@@ScienceofLoud I've seen plenty for sale that have been "professionally" repaired. May be down to budget, but some reputable names have produced repairs that just look like glue and clamp (gibson headstock breaks). I have also seen repairs on TH-cam which are almost invisible and look stronger with routed section which have strengthening inserts.
This looks amazing. Regardless of the wood grain. Incredible work.
Your non-American accent is half the reasons i love your videos, the other being your incredible knowledge of guitars and pedals and your uncompromising love for prehistoric creatures. Keep it up, Colin, love your work!
You are the only guy that I know that has a decent video out here about fixing neck pockets on fixed guitar necks. Ty
Axe from the grave is definitely my favorite series of yours. There is something so satisfying about seeing something so abused come back to life. Can't wait to see how this turns out!
Best part of 20 years and 2005 just made my brain crash.
This looks killer so far! I’ve had “professional” repairs to guitars that came out looking worse than when the guitar wasn’t functional. This is virtually seamless! Looking forward to part 2
The repaired area looks really clean. It's much easier to "get over" the aesthetic difference considering the damage is on both sides rather than just one
I love this, Colin! Not only is it always brilliant watching you go into work in such a detailed and incredibly honest way, but also you’re looking great, dude! ❤️
Im supposed to wait 14 MINUTES?! Damnit, Colin! Cant wait to watch this!
That turned out better than I expected. Great work! I look forward to seeing and hearing the end results.
I'm not sober enough nor have enough character space to describe how much I enjoyed this video. Thank you for your content.
Always love watching you resurrect an Axe from the Grave! Wasn't expecting to see this "slightly used" Gibson SG today, but in your hands I'm glad I did!
That's an amazing job, my man! Can't wait to see and hear the final product.
Axe from the grave will always be my favorite segment of this channel. I’ve lost the count of how many times I have seen the cleanup video for Jack’s guitar. It just relaxes me so much.
Looks good Colin. Always love your “Axe From the Grave” videos. Nice job!
There's something charming about a guitar that shows off its stories
Awesome work! And honestly I like being able to see where repairs have been done it gives the guitar more of a story
The repair looks super solid, I'd buy that in a heartbeat.
Also wanted to add that your channel has influenced me to learn more about repairing and maintaining my own guitars. It's been great, keep up the good work!
You make awesome videos. You are one of a small handful of pages that I steer people to for solid, accurate information. Your reputation for accuracy is impeccable.
Thank you for effort and time in making great videos.
Cheers
As a guy who started making guitars (wife wouldn’t let me spend a fortune on my whim of the week)
These kind of videos really help expand my skill set.
Thanks for the lesson!🤘🏻
1. Loved that you cleaned during disassembly (shows you care).
2. Loved the disassembly montage (and the montage backing track).
I've been repairing guitars over 40 years, and you did a good job in my opinion.
Brilliant job. Nice balance between blending it in and being honest with the repair.
Personally I love being able to read the history of a guitar by looking at it.
That’s a superb repair job, can’t wait to see the end result when it’s finished, well done Colin excellent job man 🤘
I think you’ve done a fantastic job and I appreciate the transparency regarding a guitar’s repair history. As long as it plays and sounds as good as before, the look is just character 🤘
That is a stellar job, Colin! Despite you trying to manage expectations, I was genuinely blown away by how good that looks - especially the colour matching :)
I had a similiar neck break to my good ol' Gibson SG I had gotten for my birthday, which had devastated me so badly in the past.
Seeing you repair that guitar with elegance & effort to disguise the repairs made me almost tear up!
Holy Mother of Orville! This looks spectacular! Personally I love it, when a repair has visible reminders. Makes the Guitar "visibly tell a story" and I like that. Much more than "perfect" guitars!
Well done, young man. Your work was outstanding, your ethical reasoning was flawless.Thanks for sharing, Colin.
Great job so far! Looking forward to the final video on this!
Brilliant repair. Well done. Great character to the guitar and a story to tell.
That went extremely well ! Your whimsy was well appreciated as well.
Well done so far! The crimson build has given you confidence.
Damn dude, your channel just keeps getting better through the years. This is excellent
I am a big fan of battle scarred guitars. The fact that certain guitars have been through the ringer, patched up, and still keeps going and giving better than it got!
So far it looks good amigo! I like that you make it look good without totally hiding it. Looks good and you have great ethics about this repair!
Many of my guitars have scars but that gives me confidence as a player that it is still going.
I knew you were a builder and an electronics pro, but I was impressed with your knowledge and skill on this repair. Looking forward to part 2!
Nothing more charming than vintage tuning instability!
Great workmanship! It's nice to see that you are able to do this level of repair even without a proper workshop.
Great job Colin! Can’t wait to see the next video!
Great job! Well done! It shows that a broken neck doesn't mean the guitar is dead, I'ld buy this one in a heartbeat!
A better quality repair than I've seen from some professionals, great stuff
Nice work. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this repair.
Superb job there mate. I totally agree about the honesty of the repair. It's not trying to hide the fact it's been repaired in order to dupe anyone. The colour matching of the mahogany biscuits looks very good indeed and you can barely see the battle scars inside the horn carving. Excellent job mate. Carlo 🎸👍🏼
I personally would have left the mahogany plugs unstained and just applied clear coat, I thought it added some really unique character without looking extremely out of place. Excellent work!
same
Like Racing Stripes on a sports car. Heck, one could embrace the fact that it was repaired and turn it into a Franken-SG of sorts. But I gotta say, I _love_ how the new cherry color blends in with the rest.
So would I but it wouldn’t be as impressive a project
@@menhirmike agreed, if we perpetuate the mentality that neck breaks should be hidden, it's Gibson that wins.
Yeah, it definitely would have been better that way. The guitar could wear it's scars with pride.
I've never been brave enough to take on anything this intense. Very well done, sir!
It’s honestly not a bad repair. I dig it. It doesn’t stick out on camera at least. Keep up the good work! 🤘🏻
Superb repair job! It looks very natural and well blended, I would have no problem to play guitar with this repair.
Seriously awesome repair.
Can't wait for Part 2
Love your work Colin! I always learn something, and hell, you're even entertaining. Thanks from Colorado!
Wow! Great job with this repair!! Got me itching to head into the workshop and get carving!
The repair looks amazing, and the colour match is really good, too.
I can't wait to see what it with the Maestro vibrola fitted. That's my favourite look for the SG! 🤘🤘
Truly stunning work. Even up close, the repair is not immediately apparent. I look forward to the conclusion.
"that vintage tuning instability" loved it, great work overall dude, love your channel !
Excellent job on this repair, hope it sounds and plays as good as it looks!
Just ordered a 70s Yamaha SG bolt-on neck to put on an older Epiphone SG with awesome pickups, loud body but a stupid-feeling scarf joint neck. Stopped by for inspiration on that project and was very pleased. Thanks!
As someone whose job was repairing guitars for 2 years, I think that job is really good. You've executed it nicely
Looks amazing! I wouldn't change a thing. I'm impressed with your ability to do this level of work in your apartment.
Great job! Can’t wait for part 2!
🎸😎👊
Damn good job man.
In my opinion "every" repaired thing gets a lot more of character. Especially those things we love most. Repair marks are a win of prettiness.
Now I can't wait for the soundcheck! Broken & fixed necks mostly sound even better than before.
Great repair! I love the look after the fact. Gives it character.
Hey Colin! I just wanted to say that these Axe From The Grave videos have genuinely been really inspiring me to pick up some new skills on how to take care of guitars better. I've jumped into doing basic carpentry and guitar maintenance work on my own instruments. I've learned how to level and crown frets through watching videos of yours and I don't feel afraid to do the work anymore.
Thank you so much Colin, for making these really helpful videos!
Brilliant work. If mine ever breaks, I know where to bring it...!! Regardless of the break or not, do to the fill pieces and good clean contact on the break line, once glued, this will be pretty much as strong as the day it was built.... look forward to hearing it.
Looks absoultely great man! As always, amazing job, I would leave any of my guitars in your hands with full confidence
Bravo! Great repair.
Congratulations Colin!
Dude! Great job! Can't wait for the next part.
Colin, I saw this on your Facebook. You did a fantastic job man...
Awesome repair! I'm having a similar issue with my 64 reissue SG, not completely broken but the cracks are at the same angle. I love it when you can see a good repair, I'd buy it.
Beautiful workmanship. And this American listens because of your accent!! My grandparents were from Aberdeen.
Great work 👍 smart presentation and that SG was lucky to meet you🍀
Superb work friend! Really enjoyed watching the compressed process! ✌️Rock on sir!
Very impressed with how the repair is looking!!
i love the way you fixed this SG exellent work this channel is awesome
This is so awesome! Its inspiring me to want to learn more to repair and work on instruments.
well done man, that plug work looked brilliant
amazing work. It's a level of patience and skill that should be placed right up there with the greats!
The first guitar I ever bought back in 91 and still have to this day is my 91 SG Standard. Still love it now as much as I did them and despite the other guitars I own and love in my modest 8 electric collection, including another SG Special, it's still my go to number one! And that repair looks amazing! Who cares if it doesn't exactly match the original finish! As long as the repair is solid, the finish imperfection/mismatch shouldn't matter. Finish imperfections are what give guitars their personality!
Awesome job so far!
I love SGs and I think it's awesome you're giving that beaut a second shot at life. \m/
Nice work, man - looks great so far.
You did amazing Colin you're the best !!
"vintage tuning instability" I'm dead. U did a great job man, looks cleannnnn
Nice video bro! Watched it all the way through.
Nice video!
My SG (Tokai MIJ) broke by the headstock (I might have bumped into the drum set during a gig...) but it was glued together and is now probably stronger than before! Big scar around the neck now, but that's like you said - a part of the history of the guitar! Also, at another gig, before I started using straplocks, the same SG dropped straight "face down" to the floor and pushed the input jack with the surrounding wood into the electronics space.. I repaired the hole, drilled a new hole for the jack and electronics from the side (pretty thin though on a SG, but doable) and now it's super convenient with a 90degree jack. Lot's of scars :)
You got skills bra! Honesty is always the best policy and besides you should be very proud of that repair and want to show it off! I would never get rid of that guitar if I were you! Excellent conversation piece and proof of your crazy excellent craftsmanship! Great job!
It looks killer, man!
I’m off or watch Part 2 now!
Cheers!
I'm a sucker for almost any SG...love the character this one has now with your repairs....and P90s.....DROOL!
I love SG guitars and this was a very beautiful repair!
Nicely done Sir !! That’s the beauty of repairs in my opinion it gives the guitar a bit more stability and in some cases if not most gives the guitar Character keep it up
I have done so many of these over the years. You did a fine job. You really over repaired it. I just glue them back on as long as they fit good, and fill in the spots where the wood is missing with chunks of Mahogany. I have never had one break after I glued it.
Absolutely lovely repair and much respect for it being an ethical repair.
Awesome work Colin
Looks great... didn't realize you had hands on skills like this...much respect
LOVED what you did here. A person could buy a new SG for the price a luthier would charge for doing this work in the US, but what you did was save an otherwise dead piece of the earths resources. There should be a lot of pride in this simple gesture.
Awesome job, love the content, and keep up the great work
I feel like you're doing God's work. Broken guitars make me sad but this video gives me hope.
Hate to see a guitar go to the big scrap heap in the sky when there is potential for it to be saved.
@@ScienceofLoud 🙏🙏🙏
@@ScienceofLoud big scrap heap in the sky? :(, don't CSGuitars... don't. you are making me weep.
Looks stunning!!!! Amazing work
