I want to kick myself. I carelessly put my Gibson Voodoo SG into its stand, and it fell forward causing the headstock to crack where it meets the neck. Where’s the best place in Manhattan to take it to get repaired? Any other advice people might have? Thanks.

Not Manhattan, but close. I’ve had only good experiences there. If you need Manhattan, google will give you lots of places with reviews.

I had some repairs done at Rudy’s Music Stop on 48th. A crack in the top and the bridge was pulling up. The repairs are still holding up after 10 years.

I also had a crack fixed at Mandolin Brothers on Staten Island.
