Guitar repair help!

[Reubenfjk]

Okay guys this is a real heart pain for me.
Recently i just purchased an Epiphone LP custom.
Sadly within 2 weeks I accidentally dropped it leaving a crack on the neck
Any ideas on where I can get such cracks fixed?
Will upload pics of it soon
Cheers!

He's the only guy i'd trust with my guitars
Can be costlier than the repair guys in Peninsula, but he's the real deal and a great guy too.

and don't worry too much abt the crack, even if the whole headstock has fallen off, a good repair will leave it even stronger -- something to do with wood glue being stronger than wood

lol reubenfjk. we're so similar.
i got the same guitar as you.
oh well, i dropped mine few days after i bought it.
and its got a crack on the neck too haha!

just bring it to a luthier. i brought mine to peninsula.
basically, they'll just glue it for you. the crack will still be there, but it wont go any further.

Wow at least yours live to survive 2 drops, mine did not even make past one. Just fell from the stand and the head stock came flying out.

To the ts since you've drop it quite a number of times, you might wanna take out the strings immediately incase the headstock or w/e comes flying too.

Gluein will be able to fix neck crack.. some luthier will totally break apart then glue it back together I dunno why.. paint chip wise.. spray paint of the exact colour and coatin can be done to make it look new..however, close screwtiny will reveal uneven layer(the brighter the colour the more obvious) of paint.. impossible to make it whole unless you do refinish the whole guitar..
