Welcome to CRIMSON GUITARS HQ https://www.crimsonguitars.com/
In this video watch as Ben Crowe, master luthier at crimsonguitars.com performs an emergency repair on a guitar whose headstock broke off while at Glastonbury Festival 2024.

This is a very quick and dirty guitar repair tutorial without worrying about aesthetics, the guitar goes from utterly and usable to completely playable in a matter of hours. Repairing a snapped off guitar headstock does not need to be a major undertaking, you can do it too, we believe in you!
