broken headstock

Just be careful of excess epoxy, if it squirms out of the joint it will leave the finish in a mess.  It doesn't sand like the other stuff, very hard stuff, and tends to look funny.  The Tightbond stuff is great glue and cures in 24 hours.  Surprising how durable it is.  Superglue is really quick, but CA is also kinda brittle.  That means if there are any large gaps in the joint, it won't be as strong there.  There are +/-'s to all of them, I suppose it is really what you have available.

I have nothing available. I want to get RID of this guitar :P I was going to sell it, but I do it anyway now; a gibson the paul, fully walnut, for 190$, a bargain! but, its a project :P you have ti fix it yourself. I asked one of the best luthiers here in the Netherlands for a pricequote on a repair; its 'just' 90$ for the full repair for this one. so, whoever gets this axe and has it repaired with this guy, has a guitar for less than 420$, which is a major bargain. and ofcourse, the guarantee of this luthier, which is a hell of a lot better than of regular 2ndhand seller.
