*All guitars requiring a neck reset will be assessed prior to the work being performed in addition to a thorough inspection of the entire guitar. All thorough inspections will be looking at the structural integrity of the entire instrument, does it suffer from belly bulge, has the bridge lifted, does it have loose braces, is fretwork required is the neck straight, how is the guitar's neck relief, are the pick ups set to the right height, is the Floyd Rose or tremolo properly set etc.?

All structural work pricing is by assessment - cracks, headstock breaks, loose braces, bridges lifting etc. will all require an in person assessment. We will give you a quote before the work begins. Please understand that a crack repair may require humidification of instrument in advance and after the repair for several weeks and could delay the turn around time.
