Well, if you needed a neck reset on the Guild, yes, it could run into some serious money, because American-made Guilds were traditionally built with the neck being attached before the finish was applied. This is in direct contrast to the usual industry practice of applying finish on the neck and body separately, then attaching them. The problem with Guild's approach is that when the neck has to be taken off, the finish gets damaged and has to be repaired, as well.
