I have a 1977 Digiorgio, made in Brazil in 1977. It is the Author or Autor 3 model, handmade by Renaldo? Digiorgio and signed. It is spruce top, rosewood back and sides. We have had it since new, and until recently have not had a consistent desire to learn to play. Recently we found about a very talented gentleman in our area that repairs and sets up guitars, he has a great reputation. We took the guitar to him today, and he told us there had been compression around the wood where the neck connects, so the neck is not parallel with the guitar top, resulting in very high action. Since he doesn't know how it is constructed, he did not want to take it on as a project (he is also extremely busy).

Is anybody familiar with this guitar? Any suggestions as to someone in the US who has the ability to take this on? Is it fixable? Or worth investing in a fix? Any other comments or suggestions would be welcome! Thank you in advance.
