Exactly what I've been thinking.
Just for example, my main '72 Martin guitar has been in -only- for:
- the backbrace crack that it had when I bought it in '90 (priced accordingly);
- the neck/headstock crack from when I dropped it 6 months later (fortunately on a thick carpet!);
- the '05 neck reset that most Martins need around that age;
- the loosened neck binding (my earlier glue job didn't last!) related to that now 30 y/o headstock fix.
