I reckon that the patron saint of lost cause repairs @HarrySeven will be raising a glass along with the rest of us to such a brilliant result. Heartwarming.

Fantastic! Puts my recent headstock bodgery into perspective.

Currently the 30+ "wows" but not a single "wisdom" for the cleverness behind the idea and execution of those rods. I would have no idea how to even start working out how to get those holes aligned, so I've gone for "wisdom"

Fantastic job as ever. I love threads like these.

I'll pass the wows and wisdom onto my colleague Tom who executed this one so neatly.

Great fix! Out of interest did you do the work on the guitar yourself Jon @FelineGuitars or one of your team?

It was Tom on this one, as pictured above. He is great and comes up with many alternative ways to tackle such jobs.
