The belly raises by humidity - your fix can be only temporarily. The shim in order to adjust the neck angle and height is independent from environmental conditions.
i have that same model minus the preamp. what i did with mine was carving into the belly bulge so there is an indent for the bridge to sit in. terrible idea in hindsight because i think doing that made the guitar much quieter than when i first got it, gave it a fret leveling and and a truss rod adjustment. results came out ugly as hell but the guitar works and the action is low. 2mm on the 12th fret and 0.4mm for the 1st because any lower its gonna buzz. i did that about 4 years ago and the guitar still holds up, glue's not lifting and it can take a beating, dropped the darn thing a few times. great work btw! your work is clean and i bet the owner is happy with the results.
yea you can say "easily" when its a bolt on neck . . never easy when its set neck glued with who knows what glue, prior repairs and shenanigans... cool little guitar tho, those nuts are impossible to find anymore, dunno what the material is but they tink real nice when dropped on hard surface... I have one guitar that has one and its a heavy kinda material, synthetic I am sure? cannot find em anywhere.. old martin ..
Better spending the money on a guitar that isn't complete garbage, rather than fix one that is so poorly made/designed that it would get itself in that state.
What an amazing video what is the metal bit that you use to flatten the bulge at the guitar body. I am a beginner luthier from Australia 🇦🇺 would love to learn more
That guitar is still garbage after all this work. The most I would have done is remove the neck, fit a tapered shim to change its angle relative to the body, and replace it. Maybe try to adjust the relief. I feel sorry for the poor sap who wasted their money on that piece of junk.
Sir, you have like a half inch of clearance at the 5th. Although you mysteriously never showed us the nut, may I suggest that you remove the carpenter's pencil that must have accidentally been left under the strings at the nut? This has been proven to lower the action on many guitars. Crushing plywood flat with a clamp was pure genius and will certainly never allow the problem to rerturn, who needs those stupid braces anyway? Also, when adding a shim under the neck, wouldn't the fretboard sit proud of the body instead of flush? I am asking because the fretboard sits in exactly the same position before and after your shim, which just shows your amazing workmanship. Suppose you are going to put up fraudulent videos that just get reported as misinformation. Why not expend that effort on something that you actually know, like making Star Wars toys or some other type model as your tools suggest?

The owner love his instrument. Objects are made with a lot of personnal stories.
Tell it
@@christophemielbut it is garbage as an instrument. How can you love an unplayable instrument?
Some people like a challenge.
@@wilhelmvonn9619 Challenge? It was broken from the initial design. It is a better candidate for firewood than repair.
Never seen such a bolt in neck acoustic

Comme quoi Taylor c'est pas le top ,mais l'opération est beaucoup plus compliquée avec un manche collé !

呢支嘢唔知有咩故事？呢支結他新嘅3000幾, neck reset +bridge reset 收嘅工錢應該都唔止吧 steven。如果主人肯比呢個錢去整，本身應該都唔係會比支結他去到呢個咁誇張地步嘅人。
另外第一次見原來條頸下面仲有塊木，係咪 bolt on獨有？

hi, the shim under the neck is just about 0.3mm thicker at the end. But it changes the neck angle.
Whoa, cowboy, we get it. You would have done wayyyy better. Video please! 😂😂😂😂
like to know where that neck heating/clamp tool is from ..

1cm... 破了我見過5mm的紀綠…😱
好叻過😁😁😁
awful non-music track and no voiceover at all
Terrible, isn't it? I completely lost my will to live watching this, life has become utterly meaningless...😢
This repair has not been done by a luthier, but by a butcher.
