The repair is on-going. It has been glued and clamped and is routed for the stiffeners. Then comes the refinish of the repair area.

 
The repair is what's interesting...??? Drama aside. Plenty of les paul necks and head stocks have failed during shipment.

I've shipped a couple dozen LP's over the years without failure. This was a first for me for any damage to a guitar. Looking at pics of previous repairs that have been done, this one should be a piece of piss though. Battle scars rule.... :thumbsup:

I have a relationship with a super model just like that ;)
 
I know he cant play it yet,but did Greg say anything about the
overall build quality of your Yaron?
 
This was the greatest angry customer vs builder thread of all time. Angry customer takes many shots and builder comes back with massive retaliation. Thanks to all. It was very entertaining!

Nothing yet and I haven't asked. I am sure it is all of what previous GY owners have raved about though. He did mention re-leveling the frets a bit better, but hell, that's about any guitar. Of course, there's all sorts of BS around about specs/wood selection/etc. for the ultimate 59 replica. The few 59's produced were probably somewhat inconsistent back in the day, so blueprints may vary from builder to builder.

When he gets it done, anyone close that wants to pop by and give it a go is more than welcome.
