Good luck with the repair I had a 70’s SG with a much worse break and once repaired it was a great guitar.
Seriously though, good work getting all that gloop out of there.
Mind you most people I know in the real world think I'm nuts for enjoying building pedals and amps, so what do I know?

If you’re careful and patient you can do it with chisels, you don't need a routing jig.

Yeah, I did begin to wonder...

If it was me I would use high-strength epoxy, rather than anything water-based which might be repelled by traces of the old glue. Heat the joint with a hairdryer first and for quite a while after clamping it - that makes the glue thin and penetrate into the surfaces better.
And clamp it like you’re trying to crush the life out of it...

@ICBM. Care to suggest a preferred slow-setting high-strength epoxy?

Who'd have guessed Harry had a job?
I thought he spent every waking moment hunting down odd guitars and amps.
Definitely splint it with a hard wood fillet or two. It'll make it a lot more solid than before.
I do indeed.
And the bloody thing REALLY gets in the way of me spending every waking moment hunting down odd guitars and amps.

Just a quick question - may be for @ICBM, @FelineGuitars, @WezV, @SteveRobinson, etc...
A while ago, for certain guitar repairs, I recall someone recommending an epoxy resin (slow cure/high-strength) which is used for construction/repair of golf clubs(?!) due to it's high-impact/high shear-strength. It was also supposed to be reasonably priced (as opposed to West System, etc). Does this ring any bells?

I'm guessing it's something like this?

Stay well away from any quick-set epoxy, it's no good at all for this. (Or much, to be honest...)

Overall, quite pleased how it’s gone back together...
