bill, i guess for your national collection a bunch of auto body hammers and dent pullers would be handy. for setting up a taylor i reccommend a chambersburg steam hammer. |

Location: puerto vallarta, mexico | mark, i adjust the neck slowly because that is the way i get out of bed------poco a poco.
really, when you think about it it takes the wood awhile to respond to that ungiving new force. every once in awhile you will find a guitar with the neck arched instead of bowed. you might loosen the truss rod nut and even with strings tight it is still arched. then in a week or so it often relaxes a bit. wood seems to require patience and tlc. |

The army issued us armorers tool boxes at Fort Eustis to work on the helicopters, they even had pipe wrenches and small sledge hammers in them.
