My apologies to Gerald Ross! I miss-spoke badly in my attempt to be brief!

I DID NOT BUY THE BROKEN NECKED RICKENBACHER FROM GERALD ROSS!

I was very impressed with Gerald's pre-war Rick when we jamm ...

Can anyone tell me if a Bakelite Rickenbacher neck can be repaired and how much it would cost?
