I have an nice old Guild D50 that is in excellent shape. (I also have a Westerly JF30-12 and D46) A guitar craftsman that I know looked at it and said "we could lower the action but it could really use a neck reset and you'll probably have to send it to the factory for that."
Older guitars and neck resets seem common but are scary. It seems like you'd never get the finish back to looking original once the neck was removed and reinstalled.
I'm posting this to get some feedback on anyone else's experience with having a neck reset done on their guitars. I've got a couple of well established guitar shops in town that I could check with and get their opinion too. I don't know what to do at this point so I'm gathering some feedback from all of you. The guitar would be worth every penny to get it done which also leads me to ask, if you've had a neck reset done, about how much did it cost you?
Play guitar! Play everyday.
