Repairs to your musical instrument are required when it is broken.
Before and After Neck Repair
Breaks can happen:
- Accidently (rocking out in the living room and smashing it into the telly);
- On purpose (annoying your girl/boyfriend);
- Carelessness (lending it to the drummer);
- Mysteriously (it was like that when I found it); or,
- Misfortune (the dog knocking it off its stand).

Before and After Neck Repair
It's very rare that a broken guitar cannot be fixed.
Headstocks can be glued back in place, or even replaced if necessary, scarf joints cleaned up and reglued, fingerboards coming away from the neck can be reattached, split soundboards and bodies can be joined back and lifting bridges removed,cleaned up and refitted better than from factory.

lifting bridge
glueing the laminate back
clamped into position
Other breaks can occur due to failures in the instrument, such as glue failures where the neck joins the body, or the bridge lifting off the soundboard of an acoustic. A blow to the top of a sound board can result in snapped internal bracing struts. Some of these failures can be subtle and may go unnoticed for some time, which will always make things worse down the line.
