That picture allmost made me faint.
DONT DO THAT EVER AGAIN
Anyway, what the hell happened to it?
Chad K.:
That's awful. I just did his with my upright. The good news is- it's very fixable due to the Gibson headstock shape. Buy Titebond glue, a C-clamp, and two pieces of plexiglass. Clean the crack out completely and liberally apply the glue. Use a clean towel to wipe off the execess glue. Then place the plexi on each side of the headstock. Clamp down the c-clamp and wipe off any additional glue seeping out the sides. Then leave it alone for two days. You should be able to unclamp it and remove the plexi and have it be good as new.
When you put the strings back on, do it gingerly at first to confirm the glue will hold. It should though, provided the break is clean and there are no chips. Happy gee-tarr-ing.
Chad K.:
I almost forgot- you probably figured it out but you have to take off the strings and tuning pegs first.
