i think it would be more worth it to get a new guitar unless that guitar really is your sweetie, like you can't live w/o it lidat.

yup i agree, better to get a new guitar than to repair it unless it really means something to you. maybe a few hundred bucks to replace it because i think u nid to replace the whole neck.

you can always head down to / call guitar connection to ask for a quotation. it is quite a common problem with les pauls cos I always see them fixing up broken epiphone headstocks.

see whether its more worth it to fix the headstock or just get a brand new guitar. its your choice.

You can also head to Guitar Workshop...Bras basah....I think 2nd floor....Mr. Francis Poh is a very nice guy to talk to...I sent my Gibson studio there when my strap pin broke....good workmanship and very reasonable price....

my friend had a similar case with the headstock...it was hanging by a few strands of wood. He told me that he repaired it for $80 and some more for post-repair care.

AND SORRY for hijacking this thread....but just wanna ask is it worth it to re-finish a guitar?? Im currently using a faded SG so it does not have that smooth shiny surface. So was just thinking if its ok to do the re-finish how much would it cost?

My friends have had their guitar headstocks snapped off before. One solution is to get a luthier to fix the whole neck which imo isn't very worth it. May as well jsut get a new guitar for the price that you're paying unless that guitar really really really means something to you.
