This results in the largest, straightest boards with the least likelihood of knots, warping, etc. When a tree grows, the primary source of lumber is the trunk (known as the bole in the lumber industry). However, like all materials, it benefits from understanding its strengths and weaknesses. Wood is a fantastic natural resource that has many incredible attributes. I guess it was a silly question that I just answered myself- taking just the neck to the repair shop is more convenient but taking the whole guitar is more advantageous as the tech will do a set up and present you the full piece of the puzzle that's ready to go.Īnyways, at the end of the day I'm gonna have to send the necks/guitars in to be fixed by someone hopefully very competent.The first thing we need to understand before we dive into what specifically makes the Gibson headstock prone to breakage is to understand the material that it is made from. I'd love for him to fix my Kramers but I think I'll try to find someone local first due to logistics and shipping.įinally, yes I know full well that a refret will only require the neck of the guitar to be worked on, I think most luthiers/techs will take the neck off for the job if it's a bolt on. yeah I've been on Kramer forums and pages enough to know that he is the go to guy to fix and rescue Kramers, and he builds great guitars and have a thing for goats. Vinny of Vince Michael guitars as suggested by wizball(thanks man! ).
Another place I'm considering is a guitar shop that deals with Charvel and EVH guitars(among others), maybe they are more savvy to the Floyd Rose equipped rock guitars than this guy who seems to mostly do work on Gibsons and Fenders and PRSes. He seems to do a decent job with refretting, I've been to his place to ask about prices before, I might get the refret done there. he has a FB page where he details the work he does and there are guitars showcased that I guess he built. This guy I'm considering seems to be a luthier. I'll send it to a tech/luthier to fix it eventually, but I'm open to swapping necks, since this neck has a R5 nut width, I might enjoy a R2 neck more. In my case the buzz is only on the first fret(for now). I won't post pics for now but it's the classic case of the Kramer scarf joint problem, whether 'slippage' is the correct term or not, the joint should be super strong but because of defective glue the joint does not hold its position, resulting in the headstock part forming a backbow resulting in the first few frets buzzing. But still, what a great post by RockStringBender, thanks man! What I'll heed is to drink beer and to play the beak Pacer. 2, I won't try to fix this myself as I don't have a clamp nor the experience to glue a scarf joint properly. Thanks everyone for your replies, they're much appreciated!Īs great as RSB's instructions are for a DIY fix to no.
