I have taken possession just a couple of days ago of a Rob Girdis (RIP) built D with Spanish heel construction and unplayable action. The owner no longer loves the neck (1 15/16 nut!) and so I realized I can make a whole new neck for it (has my typical 2 5/16+ bridge pin spacing) and cut a dovetail connection using the jigging I already have. I do not ordinarily take on this kind of project, but I knew and loved Rob, and the guitar's owner, who lives nearby, seems to have excellent timing and an enjoyable manner.
