Hi all! Anyone here an expert on how headstock repair is likely to impact tone, playability, durability, action, etc. on a Les Paul Studio? I am considering purchasing a 2008 era LPS with the headstock repair shown in the attached pics because it seems otherwise in great shape, and I can likely get it for 1/2 of what would cost in same condition without the headstock repair. I'm not really worried about cosmetics and would not intend to resell it in the next 10+ years. Mainly wondering if the repair is likely to break again, and whether it is likely to impact tone, playability, action, durability etc. It is an online seller and sold as-is with no returns, which makes me nervous. They are a music dealer so no reason to believe it is a scam, just hard to assess the quality of the repair by attached pics alone without being able to pick it up and play it! Is the "worst case" scenario that I have to get the repair re-done? If so what is that likely to cost on east coast of USA (Raleigh NC)?
