Location: CA | FWIW, this exact same break happened to my 1111-4 (crappy case, rough airline handling). The break was above the nut so the fretboard itself was not comprimised. I was low-bucks at the time but worked on boats and had access to epoxy resin. Aligned, clamped, couple of brass screws to hold everything in place, setup (the glue), sanded, amateurishly refinished and set up again (the action). That was 40 years ago and I still play it today. So this is a doable fix if you don't mind a scar tissue showing through the clear-coated neck. |
