I'm no repair guy, but I believe I've heard of this method in the past. Pretty crafty

Picked up the Lowden a couple days ago. What an incredible difference. The playability and sound are much improved. And the guitar is Loud, loud, loud. As mentioned, it was a difficult job (see response from tech in previous response in this thread). Fortunately, Ken at mountain guitars is an honorable guy and stuck to his original quote, otherwise it would not have been cost effective for me.
But the proof is in the pudding, yes, you can reset a Lowden neck.
Will add pictures this afternoon - Edit: Pics added
As much as a like the guitar I am putting it up for sale (preferably local). Gassing for a new rosewood guitar (the new D-28 is in sight)
