A fix for a badly damaged headstock?

Nasty.
Where have I seen that before? It looks familiar.

That's revolting!
I've often wondered about a headstock layout to keep the G short, for best bending efficiency, but never so as to do anything like that to any guitar, least of all a G&L.
I just hope the poor thing is still alive in spite of that.

Saw this selling on ebay from Florida not long ago, I recall the "mod" was intentional but, why is beyond me. Maybe Tim is planning a neck transplant to revive this one?

Doin' great Ed, thanks, was halfway expecting a "What the heck" when I saw this headstock a while back!

Glad things are good with you. - ed

Forgot to mention, this was originally posted as a late 80's ASAT. What a shame. Maybe Tim did buy it! :crazy:
