Repair Overview

Return to Repair Info Page

Place your cursor over parts of the guitar to view common repairs.





Body binding:
Caught early before they go too far, binding repairs can be performed with little trouble.
Finish retouch:
Finish imperfections such as dents and scratches, can be repaired. Lacquer finish touch-ups will "melt in" and be invisible, restoring your guitar's appearance.
Electronics:
Bad parts may need replacing, or bad connections found and fixed.
The neck:
Common problems include: shims may need to be added, the neck might be seated incorrectly in the neck pocket, the truss rod might need adjusting.
Nut:
Coming off the assembly line, slots can be cut too low, too high, or even in the wrong place. For the guitar to play properly, such errors must be corrected.
Headstock:
It is NOT the end for your guitar if your "tilt back" headstock breaks ! Save ALL of the pieces and your Gibson ( or ? ) can be restored.
