I received this Ibanez guitar as partial trade for a bass I had for sale. Unfortunately, when I recieved it
the shipper had broken the neck right at the 1st fret / headstock area. Well, rather than file a claim for it,
I just decided to fix it. Here are the progress pics.
Here's the neck as I received it

First, I had to remove the fingerboard portion and glue and clamp the neck break
24 hours later, clamps off, ready to prep for replacing the fingerboard piece
24 hours later, fingerboard repaired

and another....
yet one more! Now to replace the fret and blend in the finish
