It's been a while, but I've eventually just finished the repair. Thought I'd post some pictures for anyone who was curious to how it turned out. I decided to firstly remove the the loose bits, which made things look a lot worse. I toyed with not reattaching the loose bits, and just...

Thanks for the replies and advice. I'll have a proper look at it at the weekend, and decide whether or not to have a go, and what method to use. If I don't post an 'after' photo, you'll know it didn't go too well :(

Last night, I put my LS85F on, then removed the guitar cable from the amp to do a tune-up. Somehow I managed to knock the headstock with the metal cable-end thingy. Not very hard. In fact, I thought "hope that hasn't scratched at all". Unfortunately the black surface of the headstock, near...

Thanks for the replies. Briefly... There was a truss rod tool that came with the guitar, although I'd be wary of actually adjusting it myself. It was necessary to adjust it on my ?50 'strat', but it wouldn't feel like the end of the world if I ruined that, where as it probably would if I did...

Ok, a newbie question coming up. Until 3 months ago, I'd never even picked up a guitar, but earlier in the week a bought an LS85F. I've just been experimenting with the pick-up selector and volume controls. I just want to make sure that I know how to use the volume controls, and to make sure...

Thanks for the reply Richard. It must have taken longer to type than my own wordy post! Plenty there for me to consider. I'll just throw another question out there. Is SEB construction a good thing, bad thing, or 'just different'?

At the age of 40 I decided a month ago to have a go at learning to play guitar. Unable to justify the expense of a 'proper' guitar and amp I opted for a ?50 strat copy and amp to see if guitar was for me. Although I'm no natural, I'm enjoying it enough to know that I'll persevere, and think...
