It sounds like a tricky job to straighten a bowed neck. Will it need refretting afterwards? Anyway, I think if you get it back in good working order for under $100 it's got to be a bargain. I missed your earlier thread on the guitar, so I don't know if you're repairing a "quality" instrument or one that's just special to you but you sound fond of the "little bugger" so I hope all's well with the repair.
