Harmony 1201TG neck reset and bridge compensation

[bbcee]

My weekend project is finally at an end, many, many weekends after I started. We're both a little beat up after the journey, but are both playing better than ever.

Inspired by Frank Ford's "Impossible Neck Reset" and "The Poor Man's neck Reset" found on the Harmony Guitars Kamikaze Lutherie site, as well as pep talks from my local luthier & Jake Wildwood, I did it all myself with limited resources and space.

Here's some before and after pictures:

The old action at the low G - you can also see the neck pulling up in front of the neck extension


The new action, and a nice, straight neck

Here's the link to the whole photo essay. Google Photos is pretty kludgey in adding comments. You have to click on the photo, then on the comment itself to read the whole thing.

Thank you, WillFly - I'm glad I did it, but glad it's done as well!
