Depends on the severity of the condition. Best case scenario, just have to check your saddles and frets, change strings, polish off the parts..... Worse case... parts have to be replaced including the pickups, tuners..... the works....

But don't expect to pay anything less then RM50 just for even a checkup...... if it's the worse case scenario, then yeah........ could be RM100+++ or more.

This guitar was dropped from standing position, and landed on the side of its head, causing it to snap off. The broken part still fits properly as it is a clean break.

Question is, what is the best and most cost effective method of fixing this problem and restoring it back to usable condition? Is there anywhere in PJ area that can do these repairs?

Any help GREATLY appreciated smile.gif

I'm afraid the headstock might be beyond repair. Maybe you could bring it to a guitar store nearby and ask?

that is not beyond repair.

since you say its a clean crack...
if you're confident, go get some proper wood glue.
just pour it in and wipe off any excess.
then you might have to clamp it so it lays flat.
then let it dry for about 2-3 days.

else i think tham in PJ should be able to do it, his number is somewhere in here, go search tongue.gif
