My acoustic guitar fell and broke PLEASE HELP!?

Question

My guitar fell on the ground, and the headstock completely bent backwards, i took out the strings. I have a Lyon acoustic by washburn. Do you think if i take it to a local guitar repair store, they can repair it some way or another? Please respond

Answer 1

sure, a guitar isn't that complicated, so im sure they can,

doubt if it can be fixed if its made from wood

Answer 2

You are probably going to have replace the neck. Dunno if its worth it with that particular guitar though.

Answer 3

Just throw it away... a washburn isn't worth the cost or effort to try to fix it.

Answer 4

they may be able to repair, but if it is made from wood then no. You will have to get a new one

Answer 5

yeah they can fix anything but it sounds like you broke the neck! because with acoustic's they don't have screws that lock in the neck to the body! it is just one piece of wood! but i am sure they can do something about it!

Answer 6

dude, sorry to say, but it'd prolly be cheaper to get a new guitar all together. and lyons aren't to pricey. Yeah, sorry dude, that sux big time :(

Answer 7

Yes, the headstock can be glued and no need to replace the neck. The Luthier has to know what he is doing of course. The cost is roughly $40 max.

What I usually do, is to drill two holes on the neck, and two other holes on the broken part and insert wooden dowels to give a perfect fit.

You have to make sure the guy covers up the cracks so it doen't show,
