Hi everyone. I desperately need the advice of a luthier ...
My guitar, Diane (yeah, I know), was on a stand as pictured above when I accidentally pulled it forward, face-first, onto a wooden floor. The headstock was completely broken off. I was sure that I lost her but some musician friends are saying that it may be repairable. PLEASE tell me that I can actually save her. I'm also curious about the approximate cost of a repair like this but, MOST IMPORTANTLY, I just want to know that she's not gone.
Also, some friends are saying I should take it to an actual luthier while others are recommending their personal guitar repair people by whom they all swear. I don't know what to do.
Here's one pic of the neck and one of the headstock:
There are more pictures that are much larger, taken from different angles here: postimg.org/gallery/rzt8sz3m/
I know it's just a guitar and it seems silly but she really means so much to me. Can I save her? Please help.
Thank you so much.
