Dear mr. Ford... I've been a fond reader of FRETS.NET and .COM for years... already a member (AKA Twogoodears), but not able to enter the Forum, I signed anew with my name... always an avid 12 strings player and collector, I've another question for you, to tickle your knowledge.

I bought a nice 1974 Hoboken Guild F212 XL acoustic... the previous m...f...er owner badly played with the double truss-rod and at some point of its life, the guitar neck gave up and sort-of exploded at about its half, at 7th fret underside, rounded part.

The guitar is now in two pieces: body and neck, as my luthier advice was to DO NOT even try a repair to the neck, but a complete rebuild of whole neck, with a new, improved double truss-rod, etc. etc including of course the replica of original serial number on headstock back.

Do you have a wise suggestion, an alternative to such a whole neck rebuilt?

I could also have the battered, exploded neck delivered at your workshop, via a dear friend of mine living nearby;-))) if the case... for possible repair-job or rebuilt, if the wait at my luthier will continue!

Forgot to say the guitar is at my luthier workshop since Feb. 2014!!!

Thanks in advance and greetings from Italy.
