Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | Talking about searches made me think of a website that someone here on the board mentioned a while ago. I bookmarked it right away, but it doesn't show up on searches here so I thought I'd mention it again. It's a great site with a huge wealth of information about guitars and guitar repair. I go there quite often and I thought some of you might be interested. |

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | Yeah, I do quite a bit of repair work here in the shop, and when things are slow here I click on and read. I've learned a lot. As a matter of fact, I have to do a neck reset on a (choke) Taylor, and that article about the Taylor neck joint will come in handy. |

Location: Brisbane Australia | Q. How do you do a neck reset on a Taylor?
A. Carefully support each end of the guitar then use a 4lb hammer
Well that's what I read somewhere!! :D
