No I haven’t been in a pub for almost two decades.
Just joking The body looked like bad pencil shading

My ranking order (for playability, build quality, and sound) places the BFR Majesty at the top, followed by the Surh, with the JP15 trailing behind. All great guitars. The Majesty is like a McLaren Artura, the Suhr an Aston Martin Vantage, and the JP15 a Corvette ZR1.

Never liked the Majesty but I think I was put off by the first one I got my hands on had the headstock broken clean off at the nut. It had basically nothing to glue and ended up going to the insurance company. I quoted high because it was a horrible job.

With the Majesty necks being so thin, I can see that would be an almost impossible repair. I am usually drawn to beefy fat neck carves, but there's something about the Majesty neck profile that makes it a joy to play for me.

I now know I need to protect that headstock.

I did a test of attaching 2 pieces of wood together using 3 different products: silicone caulk, Titebond glue, and PL400 construction adhesive.

A weekend later, surprisingly, all 3 held. I even left one piece of wood long, so as to have something to grab with your hand, to break it apart, and still couldn't do it.

My conclusion- glues/adhesives are so good today that the repaired joint ends up extremely strong. Maybe not as strong as wood fibers themselves, when reattaching at a cross-grain intersection, but still pretty damn amazing.

It was the way it broke nothing wrong with glue joints. Glue joints done properly are stronger than the wood. There just wasn’t much wood and it had broken in a butt join way . Hardly any space to add splines because of the truss rod.
