I once had a D-35 that needed a neck reset after only 5 years playing. In those days I was too poor or too cheap to have it done right. As an alternative the tech suggested a "heat press". He had made a clamp device that put a little reverse bow in the neck, then heated it until the fingerboard glue softened, and let it cool down to re-harden the glue. Worked great for me. I played the thing another 20 years and the action remained perfect.
