Headstock breakages – and those that affect Gibson models in particular – have been widely documented, and served as the subject of many rock ’n’ roll anecdotes. The legendary Greeny Les Paul has suffered such a fate at the hands of all three of its guitar-hero owners: Peter Green, Gary Moore and Kirk Hammett.
Jeff Beck’s Oxblood – the most expensive Gibson Les Paul ever sold at an auction – received a headstock repair during its storied history. The headstock of Clapton’s The Fool SG was snapped clean off before Todd Rundgren fixed it up.
