Somehow, broken guitar necks seems to be quite a common problem. Well the good thing is that most of the time it can be repaired...
What should you do when you get a broken guitar neck problem...
WARNING: DO NOT MEDDLE with it by squeezing in superglue and similar stuff...
The key to a good repair is to ensure the pores on the broken surfaces are not clogged up. With usage of proper and stable clamping coupled with proper glue meant for woodwork (these glues seep into the pores and with good clamping creates a neat bond) the broken neck can be salvaged and you can get back to enjoying your music.
Here is a sample case... a 3 weeks old guitar that was broken due to bad habit of leaning it against the wall on a slippery ceramic tiled flooring...
I use strap box clamps coupled with F clamps and Elmers high bond woodwork glue.
Clamping...
Minor finishing work...
Back to life...
Cheers!
