Plan on shooting some steam into the 15th fret on the D-40. Score the lacquer line. Electric heat probes on both sides of the heel (14th fret) 12-15 minutes, then steam, (15th fret) then wiggle! 😄
@@harpethguitar same. It makes a lot of sense with Guilds wide heels to do this. Probably much better technique than using all types of spatulas and knives trying to remove the edge sides of the heel... Can I ask what diameter drill bit you use to make the holes? Also they seem flexible drill bits?
Awesome video! I think I saw your Casino in the background, Does yours have a more exposed neck (like to the 19th fret) while most are set in further (like to the 16th fret)?
Hi there, roughly what do you charge for a job like this? My friend has an Epiphone Sheraton that needs a neck reset. His tech wouldn’t do it, saying that the guitar wasn’t worth the amount of work it would take.
As far as i know Epiphone never had a Custom order service and i don't think that ´s an Epiphone at all, i am quite sure this is a Peerless guitar because they made guitars looking like Epiphone and Gibson´s. They are made in South Korea and that guitar might be from the late 70´s or early 80´s.
The no logo thing makes me think this could be a Korean model made by Samick or Peerless. These companies sometimes produce the exact same instrument under contract to different brands such as Epiphone. Agree with you in that I’ve never seen 335s or Casinos needing neck resets. Acoustics normally need one after a few decades as well as Hofner basses but those models don’t normally need one. What happened to this particular guitar?

1/16” bit for the hot wire foam cutters and 3/32” for the steam needle
Very impressive! What an odd guitar. Amazing how much "fudging" they do at the factory with some of these guitars.

Yes! It’s called the Casino Coupe 😀

Why did you take the neck off in the first place?
To change the neck angle and remedy the High string action 👍🏻
