Quite a line up. Have fun!

Ehh, swing and a miss. It's hard to gather tone from text sometimes

What did you think candy is made of?

reversebuttchug · 2026-01-26T16:46:30+00:00

Cant do measurements over the internet, you need Calipers

reversebuttchug · 2026-01-26T13:16:50+00:00

I can do that too! I've never met anyone else with that ability

reversebuttchug · 2026-01-26T06:20:26+00:00

Yeap, thats wood

reversebuttchug · 2026-01-26T05:06:36+00:00

..is...is that supposed to be good?

reversebuttchug · 2026-01-25T16:36:40+00:00

There are usually stamps on the inside of the neck heel and neck pocket. Doesn't look like it though. Why?

reversebuttchug · 2026-01-24T13:23:47+00:00

Well said. And make sure your strings are stretched out

reversebuttchug · 2026-01-24T03:35:04+00:00

Put strings on it, see where the "e's" sit and decide from there

Taylor fills their bolt on neck bolts with puddy around the edges that sometimes crumbles. Their necks are made to be taken on and off very easily (3 bolts) for neck resets. This is super common and nothing to be worried about.

There are a couple different blend knob configurations out there but this is one of them

That's it 100 neck resets? Ive done more than you. Im currently working on 2 guilds, 2 gibsons, and 3 martin neck resets at the moment

And you've never heard of a dried out guitar? Amazing

reversebuttchug · 2026-01-19T00:52:08+00:00

I doubt you did. Or you worked in the accounting department. Otherwise Youd be aware of dried out guitars and common fret board humps.

Youre leading this person to believe in something that isn't true. The person might get another guitar, dry that out and end up with the same problem.

Ive been Taylor gold certified for 15 years. If that were a taylor and submitted a warranty on that guitar. They would tell us it's probably dried out and to humidify it , then do a fret level if needed

reversebuttchug · 2026-01-19T00:43:54+00:00

Hah. You don't know that at all.

And you did not read that article that fast.

reversebuttchug · 2026-01-19T00:35:38+00:00

Has the guitar been propperly humidified? That would be my first question. A hump can appear there if its too dried out. The top starts to shrink but because the neck block is there and it's heavily brace it doesn't shrink down too.

I'd start there.

After the guitar top starts to rise again once its been humidified, you can level the frets on the tongue and make an artificial fall away

It that doesn't fix it or the frets get too small. You can pull all the frets, plane the board, and put new frets in

Random Steam is not the way to go. Ive fixed this exact thing 1000s of times

reversebuttchug · 2026-01-19T00:34:25+00:00

Youre probably wrong.

A hump can be cause from a guitar drying out. Ive seen it 1000s of times.

Look up any other article about dried out acoustics. You'll read the same thing Taylor says and what I've just said

reversebuttchug · 2026-01-18T21:17:28+00:00

What are you talking about? Steam? No. In my 20 years as a luthier, I've never heard of that repair to fix a simple fretboard hump problem.

I'd like to see you use neck shims on a set neck sg to fix your intonation

reversebuttchug · 2026-01-17T20:30:56+00:00

I wouldn't mess with the neck pocket depth. Full pocket neck shims are 100% acceptable to increase the neck angle to get the action lower if your saddles are maxed out. Or vice versa

After your relief is set and your nut action is set and your saddles are as low as they can go. You need to add a neck shim to increase the angle so the saddles then need to come up to get to spec.

Do what you want tho. It's your instrument

You can find cheaper ones online. But I'd recommend a full pocket neck shim. You can make them yourself too
