There's also a school here that understands that sometimes the cost of a reset is simply unjustified compared to the value of the instrument, but may be completely justified by the owner's love of same.

@Br1ck has a '71 D35 he painstakingly restore a few years back. "IIRC" his overall cost was about $1300, a lot more than what a D35 in good nick can typically be had for. On the other hand, he loves the tone and has a guitar with well-aged woods in virtually brand new condition, whose sound can't be touched by anything new at that same price.
$800.00 for reset
and frets sounds pretty decent to me, does it include finish touchup since the finish around the neck joint will have to be "cut" in order to get the neck off? Also, sometimes a fretboard will need a little true-ing up through re-planing in order to assure a perfect re-fret job. Was that included in the $800?
Even if not, that's still not too bad since the same work out here would easily run to around a grand to $1200, and that was 7 or 8 years ago. A lot depends on location and how it affects a shop's overhead.
Oh, also, yeah, if not worried about shipping, Tom Jacobs is definitely worth getting a quote from, universal 100% satisfaction reviews for price AND quality of work here, and there've been several that we
know about, maybe more.
