Yep, quater sawn wood is no good for Fender style necks. Cheap Squier necks made of flatsawn blanks are almost indestructible.

Titebond is a good choice of a glue and it'll hold the crack reliably. But I would give it to a tech if I didn't have experience. I trashed a couple of good guitars and a bunch of projects. Think about snots of hardened glue, not even final joint, some peice of wood that you accidentally glued to the headstock, a tuner hole that you need to redrill because of the glue inside it, etc, etc

musta had that freak, drunk strength going there. that's a bad break but i agree, should be fixable. james hetfield famously snapped the headstock off his flying V, and they glued that fucker on. if metallica can play the master of puppets tour with a repaired headstock, you can get this shit fixed.

I'll get some better photos tomorrow in the afternoon. Yeah its the break you see there but found another little whilst searching. Missing the string tree but thats the least of my worries atm.

Because quartersawn and riftsawn maple make a notoriously stronger wooden board that is less apt to warp with environmental shifts than flatsawn, and because even aside from that Squier necks are notably malleable compared to more expensive ones made out of nicer maple (regardless of the cut).

Not that this thread had anything to do with quartersawn necks (cuz Noirie's Japanese Jag doesn't have one, I'm pretty sure), but the mojo for/against arguments on guitar forums about cuts of maple regard whether or not it makes a difference to the sound or sonic properties... NOT that it isn't stronger, which is a well-known feature of quartersawn lumber in general and not just a guitar-specific snake oil story you keep hearing from tone-minutia geeks.

Wood moves tangential to the growth rings. With flatsawn lumber, dimensional movement occurs along the width; with quartersawn, that movement occurs along the thickness, which means that QS lumber moves much less with seasonal changes in humidity and temperature. Technically, if you had a piece of quartersawn lumber that was as thick as a piece of flatsawn lumber is wide, then the amount of dimensional change would be roughly the same. Nonetheless, quartersawn lumber is much more stable.

In addition to stability, quartersawn lumber is stronger in both tension and shear. That doesn't really matter with guitar bodies, but with necks, the difference is important!

First of, I didn't say anything about SONIC advantages of any kind of wood.

Second, "stronger" neck doesn't mean that the neck is breakage resistant. It only means that quarter sawn wood has its fibres work along the force vector of the strings and the trussrod that wants to fold the neck. As you mentioned it's less prone to twist

Third, a Fender style neck almost never lose its headstock if broken, unlike a Gibson neck. Its headstocks splits along the wood fibres.

This headstock will split 100x2 times easier

Than this headstock

C'mon guys

That guy said he'd fix it. Said he'd do a matching headstock as well.

Awesome.
