Good to hear.My 45-year-old D25 is showing none of these signs, knock on (mahogany) wood!

Glad you like it, Charlie. It is an eye-opener, for sure. Great idea, by the way... We'll do a live video tour of the shop and the latest projects on the bench. It would be fun.Chris, that's a pretty cool discussion about the neck, etc. It's amazing how much flex is there at the neck block with the top removed. You're little video there is instructive!
Great stuff; I hope your ideas can eventually help eliminate this troubling part of guitar construction. Keep at it. Someday you'll have to show me what you're up to.
My 74’ D-35 doesn’t need one but isn’t too terribly far away from needing a reset. What’s is weird is ours are from the mid 70’s yet I know of a beat up D-30 from the late 80’s that absolutely needs one. I also noticed that the worst examples appear to have been stored away in less than desired conditions for years and years. But I guess it’s just luck, some guitars are pushing 50 and still play yet some ain’t even 20 years old yet with a reset likely in the near future.My 45-year-old D25 is showing none of these signs, knock on (mahogany) wood!
What a great question. I'm guessing that unless the neckblock and neck were carbon fiber as well as the body, then potentially "yes".Do carbon fiber acoustics have the same neck reset risk?
You won't have to kill him afterwards?Glad you like it, Charlie. It is an eye-opener, for sure. Great idea, by the way... We'll do a live video tour of the shop and the latest projects on the bench. It would be fun.
