Re: Fixing a bad repair
Sorry about the mis understanding. It fit fine but it is 14'' long with a 3 to 4 inch gap, pass the end of the rod. It should be 17 to 18'' long in total. I'm planning of fitting a hotrod, but that's up to the owner.

Re: Fixing a bad repair
Just as a follow up, the FB was removed, but it was attach with epoxy. Not fun to work with at all, but it's done.
The thing is , the truss rod look too small,so it will be probably change, depend on the owner.

Re: Fixing a bad repair
Here are 2 photo.
The thing is, the board radius is 15 at the nut and 12 at the 22 fret, it should be the otherway around, no?, so making the FB straight should be fine.

Re: Fixing a bad repair
I dont know how to post photo, but replacing the fretboard is not the first option. Rosewood is very hard to get in canada and rosewood board pre-sloted is even harder.

Fixing a bad repair
I just got an electric guitar with 2 problem. First, the neck was broken and fix but the FB came unglue around the 12 fret, That is giving a bump. On top of that, it look like the fret board was sanded, but not equally. The fret board is 3/16 at the nut and 1/8 at the 22 fret. So impossible to prope...

Re: Yamaha FG411 S-12 acoustic need neck reset
Thanks
I will try to get picture.
The action is ok to high, will messure it after work.
The thing is free , so if it does not survived, there are no consequence. On top of that, i am not really a 12 string kind of player.
Converting it to a bolt on neck is an option too.

I have all the instruction, the DVD and the tools. The only thing that's making me hesitated is that i just saw that on a 199...
