I've done some wood working with mahogany, oak, ash and pine, but mostly for children furniture and knife cutting boards type work. Never used anything else except white glue for wood. Got lots of bar clamps, wood clamps, and squeeze grip clamps. For this challenge I won't be needing my 12 inch table saw or router, but it will require a lot of sanding with an orbital sander or a hand held rubber block sander. Not sure I want to make the repair look undetectable yet. All I care about for now is that the re-gluing of the headstock will withstand the pull pressure of 6 guitar strings and not break while playing it in front of my family.
My training on how to repair/setup this guitar is from watching YouTube.com to see how others have done it. These videos range from real luthiers to amateurs who like me can't afford a real shop repair.
