Maybe you've been following the "Goodwill Gibson" or not... but check out what kind of repair and cosmetic restoration is possible after a screw-in-neck hack job is discovered: (video cued to the neck repair portion of this restoration)

I had to make a repair on a guy’s collectible Gibson. Someone had put two screws in the headstock where it eventually broke.

Watching him unwrap those pickups makes me sweat with anxiety...

I ran a music shop back in the 90s. An old guy came in and had fixed his acoustic's neck set issues with a carriage bolt through the fretboard to look like a giant position marker and attached the strap to the other end of the bolt sticking out of the heel.

Sounds like the kinda guy who would go after mosquitoes with a sledgehammer...
