Thanks for your informative reply. I'm not doing a reset.......yet. I'm just a hobbyist and I like finding cheap, decent guitars and working on them. Today I did my 2nd acoustic refret and the first without an instructor guiding me. LOL It went better than expected because I was using good tools. I'm retired and in the fortunate position to be able to afford StewMac tools, etc., and good tools make all the difference. Definitely want to do a reset at some point, and your project was just so good I really got a feel for what to do and just how much time and ingenuity it takes. Thank-you for sharing your expertise and taking the time to document. Very much appreciated!

Oops.

Unfortunately, no. I just get the Report and Share options. Thanks

LOL. Yes I saw that as I went further into the article - ooops. And, for some reason, I am unable to edit, as in delete my posts. Cheers to you!

Sorry for repeating the whole procedure above when I tried to just select this one. QUewstion, is it possiblee to reemove the truss rod, or at least [pull it out a bit from the neck in order to make the sawing easier? Thanks.

Wow, this was an unbelievable post. Thanks so much for doing this as I am, today, looking to buy the exact same guitar for $200 CDN. Haven't yet seen what I'm in for but the owner seems to think there is limited bellying. We'll see. Either way, the process and pictures was amazing. The most complicated think I've done to date is refret a 1978 Yamaha FG-375S, but I'm pretty comfortable doing most of what you did except adding the bolt on neck. That was insanely detailed. Unless I missed it how did it come out from a sound and playability standpoint? Finally, thank-you again for all the work, pictures, technical advice, etc. It was like sitting in a master class of luthiery. Much appreciated.
