Very curious to hear how this works out for you. What model did you get? My O-10 is one of my favorite guitars ever. I hope yours ends up becoming a cherished instrument

Danny - thanks for posting this, I found it just the other day and it does contain some interesting info from the source. Cheers!
I'm still interesting in hearing first hand accounts from folks who have had a neck reset done on their Lowden. I'm not really into modifying the bridge, or replacing it with a pinned version to achieve more break angle as was suggested by another local repair shop.
Next step is to take it back to a very talented local luthier friend and fellow AGFer Ned Milburn (hi Ned!) for another look.
