Generally it seems to be a slight knock - either falling off a stand or bumping into the side of a doorway, classical guitars have the same problem. Splicing the headstock on does get rid of the

Brian, I had the exact same thing happen to my first ES-335. I tapped the head while walking through a doorway. The breakage was similar as well. I wrote it off as a total loss, bought a new one

They don't just fall off, of course, so what happens to these guitars that causes the headstock to break? I know a guy who had his Explorer headstock break, but he banged it into something fairly
