i am thinking of buying a 50's supro resoglass, and its a good price and i have owned 3 of them before so i know what to expect.
unfortunately the seller just informed me (with rare honesty and ethics!) the neck has a very slight bow at the 7th fret.
this guitar does not have a truss rod. it is simply a fat chunk of wood, like an old harmony, kay, valco, airline etc.
so the problem is I cant reach my repair guy until monday at the soonest, and i need to hit this sucker before its gone. and no, it is NOT on ebay!!
he says it plays ok enough, but the action is a little high, and stresses its a minor bow. he did not say which direction.
does anyone know if this is a simple repair for a professional? and is this an EXPENSIVE job?!
the chances of finding a replacement neck are slim to none.
so please help!!
