Repair 9008 – Gretsch New Yorker neck reset
May 13, 2010
This little monster is going to take some effort. A previous neck reset was done and a block was augmented or inserted between the body and the fretboard.
It’s too thick, it’s not uniform, and I suspect I will need to remove it and determine what kind of replacement block is needed.
The heel is coming away from the body, so to correct the neck angle and devise the right dimensioned block under the fretboard, I’ll need to steam this sucker off. I quoted a “not to exceed” price to the customer, and I may have bit off a bit more than what I can get for this job.
