I have a D28 in for a reset at the momment, i quoted 550 as i will also need to make a shim for the fretboard extension and do some lacquer work.

My prices vary from 350-600 for a neck reset and that is purely to do with two factors, do I need to make a tapered shim, do i need to do some lacquer work.

Surprised the tech on your job varied his price, i wonder how they come to their price to start with.
