Neck Resets

When the action on a guitar is sky-high, it's very likely in need of a neck reset. We say the neck is shooting low. Sometimes other solutions have been employed to bandaid the situation - shortening the saddle, shaving the bridge down. It would be important to reverse these interventions as well. Often a refret, a new saddle and nut are also required, and that's what makes these the big job!
