Title: Headstock Break
Post by: canada on March 03, 2007, 12:30:07 PM
Saw and played a great 70's L 09 today amazing sound but had a well repaired headstock break.

SAelling for approx $850 US-
is this too high?

If the break is well repaired about half or a little less the value of one not broken.

Yes 850 is too high for something that had a broken headstock.  But you should buy what speaks to you.  Personally, I think if you are willing to fork over a few hundred more, a slightly used exceptional larrivee can be easily found.  Hopw that answers your question.

Henderix use to break necks and reglue them for better tone  :arrow, but that was on Strats.

If all else is good and it's well repaired that's not a bad price for a vintage Larrivee.

I agree with unclrob. half or less than you would pay for a new one. I bought a new Gibson Firebird V11 from a store. It had been dropped and the headstock broke. The stores Gibson certified tech did a great job on the repair. They normally sell for $1,960, I paid $850.
