It's like magic!

One of my basses had suffered a headstock break many years ago which was repaired. Unfortunately the repair was only structural and not visual so I decided if this particular bass is going to remain in my collection that the headstock needed to be repaired visually.

For any Torontian's looking at this post you're well aware of the incredible repair work that The Twelfth Fret repair shop does. Here's a sample of Jay Lhadly's incredible work.

Below are the photos of pre and post visual repair. It's like magic!

Very Nice! A great instrument deserves that kind of work. No matter what it cost, money well spent.

That is immaculate repair work! Always happy to pay - and pay extra - for really great work.
Me too !!!! I've NEVER hesitated to pay more to the have the job done correctly. You'll never regret it !

That headstock repair DOES look like magic ! You sure got a good tech !

I have not a clue as to how he did that. Where do you start ? Did he do it like a car repair with bondo ? It's truly amazing.
