I was recently brought this Gibson headstock break and upon examination, discovered that it was actually a re-break. The owner doesn't know who did the first fix but there's enough old glue left that I removed chunks, and tried dissolving them in hot water, vinegar & acetone. No luck. It's amber in color, and the build-up in the trussrod cavity is thick enough that I suspect it may be epoxy.
I'm afraid to reglue without removing the old, failed glue, but not sure how to best remove it. Any suggestions?
