One of my clients is moving back to London next week and asked me for a referral to someone in there who will do a neck reset on his Hofner archtop. Any ideas would be most welcome. Best, Evan |

i'm in Manchester UK but I'm reasonably familiar with hofner neck-sets, little too far to come for that alone though possibly! The last one I did had divots in the fingerboard you could plant potatoes in, and a neck that you could throw across a room and watch it come back to you! All came good in the end though after a re-fret etc. I even made some feedback busters for the f-holes so it could be used on stage. Strange neck joint on those things, amazing to think they hold as long as they do! |

My names Steve Curtis, I run a repair/ build shop in Manchester UK. Our websites still in its early days - too busy with repairs! http://www.ccguitars.co.uk all the best, steve |
