Repaired Neck
Hi, Just got a gibson les paul standard at a discount price because its neck has been repaired. Just wondering how stable it is. It was professionaly repaired by a luthier and looks all sturdy but i just wondered if you should bare in mind the previous break and go easy on it. Am i allowed to bend the neck?

Is bending the neck really that bad?!?!? The crack is at the top of the neck, looks like is nearly went all the way through! I dont touch that bit when bending the neck tho, i bend it below that so its not straining the previous crack!

Slash broke his guitar neck and got severely injured once because of neck bending. :eek:
Since you don't use trem bars , I suggest you do the trick by slightly detuning the string from the machine heads and putting it back in tune (takes a little practice to get back perfectly in tune) ... Pretty safe and cool , the only disadvantage is that it's not gonna work with more than one string.

Hmm... Well the guitar sounds and looks awesome to am gona keep it. I was pretty annoyed tho that the seller described it as a crack when its a break. I dont bend the neck a lot, only on a couple of songs!
