Anything else to look for because of this concern? This is a used guitar with a bolt on neck I was considering to buy. It’s a 2004 Seagull Artist Cameo.
Thanks for any thoughts on this.

Those necks may be bolted-on, but it does not mean that resets are more easily done. Some of those Godins have necks that are very hard to take apart. As their main tech once told me : "they are not meant to be taken apart for a reset". Expect lots of epoxy and interlocking wood parts precluding removal.
