Gibson Headstock Repair

This is a headstock repair that someone attempted before it made it to my shop in Chesterfield, Virginia.  I will update this page to include text, but for now, nearly 100 photographs of the process will give you a pretty good idea of what it took to get this poorly repaired 1953 Gibson ES-175 repaired properly for a more solid structural integrity plus a much needed cosmetic makeover.
