Fixing my guitar part 2
Hello! I made a thread some time ago about my guitar breaking its headstock here: https://www.acousticguitarforum.com/...d.php?t=500693
The short version is I got it somewhat fixed, as it got glued back together, but it's definitely not a lasting solution, as have been suggested. I recently went to a different tech to let him look at it, however, the previous repair job is fairly set in stone with 'titebond' at the break, so my best and most desired option is definitely to get the neck replaced. I don't care about resale value or the logo on the headstock, all I care about is getting it in a structurally good shape again. Some people were suggesting something called the "Guitar Maker's Connection", StewMac etc. What would be the cheapest option if I just want to buy a rough neck that has been shaped to the dimensions of standard D-28 instrument? Is there a way to contact Martin or any alternative that would sell replacement parts and ship it to Denmark?

If you can't connect with Martin as described above, call the direct number and ask for Guitar Makers Connection. They will ship you a neck and whatever else you want (fret board, etc).
https://www.martinguitar.com/1833-shop/#!/c91 Last price I saw was last August; dovetail necks for $40 to $65. They are factory "rejects" so may have a pin knot or other small blemish.

Do you have a photo of the repaired neck.
Do not under estimate the amount of work required to fit a replacement neck to an acoustic guitar. Steve
