Hi Guild enthusiasts!
Brand new member here, with a question. I have the opportunity to purchase a very nice 2007 CO-2. I've read many threads here about the neck issues that some of the Contemporary Series can have.
And I also watched several YouTube videos by someone who I believe is a forum member(?) that outline the process of correcting a neck hump on a CV-2:
1.
2.
Seemed surprisingly difficult!
So my questions for y'all are...
1. when I go to check out the guitar, what should I look for to "diagnose" a faulty neck?
2. how much effort/expense would be necessary to correct a faulty neck (in the hands of a trained tech/luthier)?
3. regardless of whether the neck on this CO-2 has systemic issues, how much work/effort is it to do a neck reset on a Contemporary Series guitar?
About me: Full disclosure, I'm primarily a Tacoma guitar fan. I have a bunch of their little jumbos (very similar dimensions to an F-30/CO-2) and a few other models. I also have a couple resonators and a Taylor. I'm a singer/songwriter as well as a collector, er, "enthusiast".
Thank you in advance! Who knows? Maybe this CO-2 will end up being my "gateway" Guild?
