A
Collings OM42 owned by one of their prominent artist had the neck
shattered during Airline travel.

The peghead was nearly detached, just the Rosewood headplate kept
it intact.

The bottom of the
neck wasn't spared from the damage. There were cracks in the heel
and the fingerboard extension was completely loose.

It
got even uglier with the neck off.

It's
a humble clamping technique but it works just fine. I've taped
off all but the crack to lessen the cleanup of glue squeeze out.

Same
approach with the peghead.

Coming
out of the finish room.

Compare these pictures to the first ones above. (I promise it's
the same guitar.)
