Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR		Okay... I've got a 1115-4 that I think needs a neck reset. I tried the truss rod, but the string height is beyond that. I haven't taken all the strings off yet, but the saddle looks like it has no shims under it. In fact, the saddle may have been shaved, cuz it looks pretty low in the bridge.

This thing is pretty beat up, but it is over 30 years old. And looks about like I did when I was thirty. Pretty beat-up.

Would it be more economical to take it to a shop? (Maybe 12th Fret, for you Portland-ites) Can a shop that doesn't specialize in O's fix one? Or do I need to send it to CT
[Or do I need to put another guitar on the Luthier eBay Page]

Once again... Education Please :(

Location: Nashville TN.		Neck resets are not too expensive.
If you like send it out to New Hartford
