Stanron Tech: Truss rod on a Takamine Guitar (G-Series (8) RE: Tech: Truss rod on a Takamine Guitar (G-Series 17 Apr 23


Is the 'bow' in the neck area alone or is it in the join between the neck and the body? If it's in the neck alone there is possibly a simple solution. If it's in the join between the neck and the body then the guitar needs what is called a 'neck reset' and that is a big job, usually only worth doing on a top class guitar.

A bow in the neck alone can be fixed fairly easily if the fretboard was originally glued on with hot hide glue. It needs clamps, a strong straight edge and heat lamps. Both of these jobs are best done by a luthier and probably won't come cheap.
