Thomas Féjoz - LUTHIER GUITARES - Fabrication de guitare à Valence (Bourg les Valence) : modèles. La Petite Chignole. Les Paul Broken Peg Head. This Les Paul belongs to a retired working musician who dug it out of the closet and decided to start playing again. It shows years of wear and abuse, but other than the broken peg head, there are only a few other items he'd like to repair as long as it's here. The peg head had broken off clean. It's not just a fracture like some of the simpler breaks (fig 1). In addition to the break, there are sections of binding missing and the neck is cracked under the fret board (fig 2). I first remove the tuners and truss rod hardware (fig 3, 4) in preparation for repair. This is a slow curing epoxy that gives me plenty of working time when realigning the broken sections. I work both sections back together till the small fingers of broken wood fit back together like a puzzle (fig 9). The binding slot is in good shape (fig 12).
This material was some Boltron strips I had that were close but about .005 to wide so I simply scrape them down to width (fig 15). Craig Lavin Inlay Artist. J.F. Custom Guitars Menu.
