Should I have taken the Full Fat Banana Santana...

...when I went up to Derbyshire to visit my friend this weekend just gone?
 


 
I'm thinking...probably not - doh!  2x boisterous lurchers and many children, I should know better by now :-D
 
Had a cracking couple of jams and a great hike over the high peaks though, it's really beautiful around there.
 
Guess I'll have to send Mr Smith an email to see about getting her repairified.

    A good luthier can fix that up. IT's an odd crack, almost looks like the tuner hit something.

    In my defense, it was either me or the squirrel. 
     
    I know. Everyone was cheering for the squirrel.

    Looks like that is the low E.
     
    Take it off.

    Yeah, guitar fell on its face, top-end (headstock) first and it looks like the low E tuner took the brunt.  Still plays fantastic though.
     
    Sending it off to PRS's official repair centre is going to be mighty expensive and take q. a while, so can anybody recommend a quality luthier in the UK who could handle the repair?
     
    TIA :-)

    Send a PM to Karyn. I think she had a bass that needed a headstock repair and may know of somebody.
