A brother in Christ has brought to me his dear Takamine 12-string after a tragic incident that occurred in his house. Fortunately only his 12-string is affected and nobody was harmed, Praise God. He told me to be wary of IKEA shelves, don't load it with too much weight ... his Takamine 12-string has suffered impact blows from a string of falling objects when his IKEA shelves gave way under the constant loading of the items it was supporting. The impact has resulted in a broken headstock. It was indeed a guitar lovers' nightmare, equally to a guitar restorer ... This is one of those challenging restoration jobs that are talked about ...
This brother is a close friend to me. I took up this challenge as a way to reciprocate my gratitude towards him for being a brother in Christ and a faithful friend.
Lets' take a look at the start state. The headstock was totally severed from the rest of guitar.
