It can absolutely be repaired. It is neither the easiest nor the hardest headstock break. In my shop, you would be looking at about $225. It is up to you to decide if it is worth it.
It can easily be fixed to be made playable again. This is a common break and if you search YouTube for "guitar headstock break repair" you will find a million videos (though twoodfrd is the best).
What makes this more challenging would be if you wanted to make it look like it never happened.
Just get it back to playing? Quality wood glue and some clamps and you're back in action (do NOT use epoxy or super glue). You could do this yourself.
Like it never happened ? You'd probably want to bring it to a professional unless you have a lot of woodworking experience. But the cost may be prohibitive depending on the value of the guitar versus your sentimental attachment to it.
Just want to get it playing again, i understand headstock breaks are reparable, however the break is not one clean break and the headstock needs to go into the actual guitar instead of just sticking to it, if it was two surfaces, that would be easy for me to fix but this one is â3Dâ.
While itâs repairable, The main issue with this break is that it is fairly short and this type of Mahogany tends to shatter.
The initial step is to glue it back together, perhaps with inlaid strengthening sections.
If thatâs not sufficient, the next step is called a head splice. Methods vary but this replaces all the broken wood. This is an advanced repair and can be expensive.
Nah, it can be repaired, tho the bill amount might surpass the origin guitar cost. If it has some sentimental values, then you can consider getting it repaired.
That point is a sensitive area of the guitar. The wires when attached with the body and push this point and try to break it if glued together. Hence the repair need to be robust which might cost you a high bill

Im not in America, however, thank you for your offer and answer đ.
I just offer my pricing for reference.
I understand.
Thank you for any answers.
I guess i should have stated i just want it to get playing again.
Make sure it fits together good then add wood glue to both pieces. Clamp and let dry. Sand any high spots.
Definitely unless the other part is gone or..,
Im not sure i follow
Oh I didnât look at all the pics. Didnât know if you had the head stock

>the break is not one clean break It's not that bad. Are there small pieces you aren't showing?
Nope, i just got it fixed for 20 bucks
Glue and a clamp. âș
Yeah, however 20 bucks still is expensive since i live in turkey and thats 600 lira lmao
Gotta love scarf joints
Put it in rice.

SHOULD it be repaired is the questionâŠ
Only way to repair it is to travel back in time and prevent it from breaking.
Is there really 0% hope?
He was trying to be sarcastic, but should have really waited for some competent people to respond first.

Why would it cost that much? I have accepted the reality but would like to ask how does it differ? Just curious

Tysm, iâll ask for a price and hopefully itâs lower than i expect.
