I did three neck resets today, so in response to ops post

GS mini taylor guitar 6, I reckon i was done in around 20 minutes start to finish- cost with new shims and Setup, New strings 145

A 50s les Paul junior,guitar 8, about 1 hr 15 and cut the hell out of my hands trying to get that hide glue broken with spatulas and heat, cost with handmade s0.5 degree shim glued to neck and redone and Setup new strings 215

And a Martin bolt on, guitar 5, not really a bolt on in the true sense, the bolt was merely an added feature they use to hold the heel on whilst the glue was drying, that took around about 2hrs all up, fretboard extension had to be heated and separated, the tenon had to be steamed out and so forth, cost 320 Setup with new strings

Taylor neck resets, win, hands down

Steve, I didn't realize you had such a busy shop. Thanks for taking the time to post that information.
