I recently acquired a lightly used OM-120 with a greatly overset neck angle.
I can't find any info on Guild's site about what kind of neck joint this guitar has. I would like to reset the neck and am able to handle a dovetail or mortise and tenon joint. But I have come across Chinese made guitars with necks that are attached with 5 dowels that seem to be epoxied together. No amount of heat stick or steam will loosen those joints so they have to be cut off and made to bolt back on.
I want to avoid the frustration of trying to drill into and heat up a dovetail or M/T that is not there if It will be necessary to do a kung-fu reset.
On the other hand I don't want to cut off a neck that is removable with heat/steam.
Help?
