I have a 1981 F-412 that I bought about 17 yrs ago. It probably needed a neck reset at that time but I was not knowledgeable enough to know it. As my knowledge of such things grew over the intervening years, I came to the conclusion that the saddle had been shaved down at some point prior to my ownership and that this was robbing my guitar of the kind of sound that an F-412 should make. I began to contact some local luthiers to get their opinions and estimates. Several of them tried to talk me out of spending the money, saying that they could shave the bridge. etc. I didn't want to go that route. Let me say that, having been a Guild owner since the 1960s, it always bugs me to encounter luthiers who act as though working on a Guild is a chore they condescend to do wishing it were a Martin or Gibson. It was on this forum that I read about Jacobs Guitar Repair in Florida. I called Tom Jacobs and arranged to get my guitar to him. Well, I got my guitar back last week and couldn't be happier with the results. This beauty now sounds and plays better than it ever has since I've owned it. I am so glad I didn't take it elsewhere but to a person who really respects the brand. He will definitely get some of my other Guilds in the future. I also appreciate the fact that, were it not for this forum, I might have taken it to someone else with lesser results. I know that there are other repairmen out there who are capable but finding them is the trick. I now have my go to guy.
