"The
neck of your guitar is
always under stress. Age,
humidity, and wear can bend,
bow, twist, warp, or crack a
neck. Those issues are not
really a DIY fix. That's
why
I'm here!"
Neck Reset
Flattop acoustic guitars change over time and it is to
be expected since they are constructed of wood. Age and
the constant pull of the
strings contribute to the neck
moving forward creating a different angle towards the
bridge and extremely high
action. When this happens
(normally after a guitar is 15 to
25 years old), it's
time for a neck reset.
High-end guitars are made to be reset but this is not a
"do-it-yourself" project. The neck needs to be removed
and
cut at an angle to get it back in good playing
position.
Additional Costs: Some guitars may require a new nut
and/or saddle and some may require a refret.
Broken Necks
Usually necks break at the headstock, especially if it's
a tilt-back headstock. This happens a lot with Gibson
guitars.
If this has happened to your guitar, try to save any
splinters or chunks of wood from the break and carefully
bring it to me. I can fix it. This price does not
include any finish work, just gluing, sanding and touch
up. A setup will be in order and it will be added to the
price of the glue job.
