This Tanglewood acoustic was brought in the workshop with a very nasty headstock break.
It was the customers 'beater' guitar, so he wasn't bothered with the way it looked, he just wanted it back playable.
Once we got into the repair, it became clear the headstock was only being held together by the machineheads, and this had bent the top veneer upwards, combined with the multi cracked break, made for a challenging repair.

Once the headstock was reattached and stable, we didn't want to leave the guitar with such an obvious crack showing, so a dark stain was applied to the cracks and the repaired neck crack was then sealed with some lacquer to protect the join and give a smooth touch to the join.
