Sell it now, before its too late! 0%  0%  [ 0 ]

Thank you all so much for the quick reply!

I took on board with what most of you were saying and during a restring I removed the neck to see what work they had done. All they had done is put a few scraps of paper thin wood between the neck and body!

I took it upon my self to fill the screw holes with toothpicks and put the neck back on. It worked a treat! the neck is rock solid again and I took extra care to re set up the guitar.

If it starts to happen again I'll get another hold drilled in but until that day, thank you!
I'll be keeping this guitar forever!
