WARNING to GUITARISTS:
THESE IMAGES MAY DISTURB YOU!
EEEEAAAAGH!!!!!!
BUT there is a happy ending to my little horror story!
THAT'S RIGHT,
IT'S FIXED!
FIXED!
Andy's Guitar Shop of San Diego did a double-insert of wood rods, then ultra-hard glued the neck back on. It's incredibly tough and plays great, the resonance is better than ever. As Andy says, the glue is stronger than the wood so it's actually stronger now that it's been broken and repaired.
A color specialist did the color matching and you can't see the break anymore:

Notice anything new on the guitar below?
Yup, that's right, Andy also installed an all chrome humbucker cover to my neck pickup. I wanted the full plate to give me a creamy, jazzy, smooth sound at the neck. Gibson doesn't make these anymore but Andy found a supplier and since he listened to the results he's stocking them and recommending them to all of his clients!
He also re-soldered the ground on the pickup
and it's clean and tough now...
Andy also installed this truss-rod bell cover - WOW!
So I want to thank Andy's Guitar Shop of San Diego on Adams Avenue, who did a PERFECT JOB. I think Andy is the best guitar hotrodder in the city, he is an amazing guy and has the inside story on how to get the most out of your instrument. His shop is always fun to visit, with used & customized guitars on one wall for sale at great prices.
