The term "California Neck Reset" came from......well.....from California. I first heard this term at McCabe's guitar shop in Santa Monica, California sometime in the mid 1960's. I saw a number of guitars that had had this form of work. The ones I saw were poorly done with lots and lots of glue inside and some cracks on the back. It's generally become a derogatory term from what I have heard. I think it would be OK for a guitar such as a classical that was built with a Spanish Heel design if done carefully. I wouldn't use it on a guitar with a dovetail since there's really no need and those are best done by steaming the neck off of the guitar. Frank Ford and Brian Kimsey have excellent tutorials on standard neck resets for dovetail guitars.

Nice pics- Thanks! The order seems a bit off, but the steps are there. That finish has gotta be hard on the teeth of a japanese thin saw -

An FG150 doesn't have the thick finish, that came later. I cut all the way through it with a handheld slitting blade, so the pullsaw teeth aren't an issue. I've done 15-20 saw-offs with this sawblade, and it's still doing just Fein, I mean, fine! |

"...as long as you use a Multimaster. ....but again, when he wrote this, the Multimaster hadn't even been invented."
More like "the Stryker had not yet been copied". I own and use both tools. Stryker is the Fein technology inventor. Fein uses the decades-old Stryker technology. Fein's main contribution is the lower-priced (read "non-medical") blades, and mass-production to the price point many of us can afford. |

FWIW, and meaning no disrespect, I am wondering why this thread has been resurrected from the past. If recent posters had read the full thread, it would likely be apparent that the thread (for better or for worse) has been quite thoroughly discussed.

Ned thanks, but it's not always easy to do nor completely obvious when you're on an Android phone
