I think I have fixed the tuner with superglue. Hooray!

If not, I can hook you up with some black epoxy.

First gooped guitar evar.

You'll have to let it dry on a card table or it will lose its toan and sustain.::)

If the temp fix doesn't work, I've got a spare I'll PIF you from when the same thing happened to me on a LP.
The only known cure in the world for GAS is death.  That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

I'm in the market for some goop. Know a good brand (for hyping up a PCB)?

Yes, but I will not contribute to the gooping of guitar pedal PCBs.

Just say no to goop.

Although I can recommend some good black conductive epoxy.   ;D

I spent a while looking at the picture... "Where is the break in the headstock or neck?"

Tuners are considerably cheaper to fix!

All kidding aside, no.  At this point, I think a lot of folks on TGP realize that they have been taken by boutique builders hiding things under black goop.  I don't see any benefit in rubbing their noses in it.  In fact, I think it could have a negative effect on the honest boutique builders that don't resort to shenanigans.

My plan is to make the goop the salient feature of the pedal. Along with about 3x more components than are necessary for the circuit, some dummy, some redundant. The values I've chosen are completely absurd. All value markings will be sanded or acetone'd off. The name of the circuit is HypeMachine!. With the exclamation mark. I already did the schematic. Just need to make a layout and acquire some goop. It includes a 'goop boost' switch, for more hype in your tone. The pedals will be sold for a reasonable price, with the understanding that the buyers will then list the pedal for insane amounts on eBay. At some point, I might secretly release some 'clones' of the circuit that are way off spec. Then I'll pop into threads to talk about how they're not accurate.

Or at least I'll fantasize about doing all this while I'm bored at work.

That's still pretty lucky. I've seen many-a-Gibson broken off right at the nut.

My 72' Custom did this back in the day!  :'(  I was able to fix it, and it's since been restored, but it still makes me sad...

That sucks but I'm glad the headstock didn't snap off. That happened to my friend's LP. I say you dodged a bullet.

Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

Has JHS been up to no good? The last drama I heard with him was when he was bashing Devi Ever for some reason. That was awhile ago.

Speaking of Devi Ever, electrical tape should fix up a headstock real well. Even better than goop.
