aloha! though the action is good for now on my guitar, my saddle is low, so i asked a guitar store's luthier about a neck reset. 100,000 yen, over $1000.... he said there are other options though, such as steaming the neck and bending it back. the neck on my guitar is bent slightly from the heel area, so a truss rod adjustment won't really help, he said. he showed me one of his guitars, one from the 1920s, that he's doing the same treatment to, and it looked good. (steamed it, then clamped it at the body and the headstock). my question is, has anyone tried this? and will it last?? or just a temporary fix? obviously, there's no way i'm gonna pay a grand for a reset.....
