An accident happened to my friend's beloved Eastman guitar recently. He was distraught and I had to reassure him that the guitar could be restored.
Here are some pics of the repair process:
The neck cracked at the heel and was completely detached from the body. Nothing a little clamping and gluing won't take care of.
A refret was done and the fret ends nicely bevelled.
A mammoth ivory nut was put on which sounded mellower than the original bone nut.
Guitar is complete and gig worthy again. You can hear this guitar played by one of the top jazz musicians in this country. Check out his myspace account at http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=165734954
