The heating pad bowed neck fix -- where do you stand now? Do you think it works in the long run ? And if so, how much do you recommend compressing the neck?
I've got a 1900ish Washburn parlor guitar I'm restoring, and the neck is out .023" at the sixth fret.
TIA Barbara

I did try it, with heat pad for only a couple days, and I spaced and braced it as you suggested in the original thread, then clamped it with Irwin clamps what I can only cinch down so far. At the end of the first day I tightened the clamps one notch. Neck came out dead straight, and now, a month later, is holding. Of course, I haven't strung it up yet, so we'll see.
