I already have my Plan A... Live with it!
But just curious.
Wood putty?
Bondo?
Fix-All?
Whittle a piece and glue it on? |

If you got the ear just use titebond and glue it back on. |

...I was tipped off early.
You all do realize how totally phallic the guitar is anyway.
Should I tear a picture of Alpep at my next gig? |

My friends say, "Just stop playing. Please!"
and
"How about drums? You don't have to know how to tune drums!"
I think I need new friends.... |

Being as I don't have the ear, I guess I will go with Plan A, and just leave it.
I just got the cheap CC57 (not the GC057) with a Mike Tyson ear. This thing has a REAL purdy fretboard for a cheapy guitar... Dots and Diamonds. Two-knobber too... |
