High Guild community. I am new to the forum and I could use some advice.
Tonight I precariously leaned my 1974 Guild D25m against a chair, then accidentally knocked it over. When I picked it up the action was incredibly and with further inspection I found that the neck had begun separating from the body. I fear it needs a neck reset, but with still paying off my recent wedding and trying to head to grad school this upcoming fall I am in no position to shell out $500-700.
I don’t see a way to upload a photo. The neck is separating from the bottom and is still attached under the fret board.
My question is, has anyone ever attempted a neck reset? I’ve only done minor work on my guitar, but I have worked with wood. However an instrument is another thing entirely.
This guitar really means the world to me. I love the way it sounds, the way it feels in my hands - it’s perfect (or it was).
Any suggestions or comments would be amazing.
