Twisted neck on my RG - is there any hope of repair?

[Twinfan]

Thanks for all the advice folks.  I would take it to Jonathon at Feline if I was more local, but it's a bit of a trek unfortunately  :(

I've just spoken to my local luthier on the phone and he's suggested the heat and clamp treatment, which he has done before.  I've used him for other (more minor) work in the past and he's done an excellent job so I feel I can trust him with this.  He says a full setup and neck treatment is going to cost me about £90 so I'm going to give that a go.  I really hope he can save the original neck as it's so superb to play.

Fingers crossed....

thats not a bad price so definately worth the effort before investing in a new neck.  He should be able to make it a lot better but you will always need to take a bit more care with this neck to keep it straight as long as possible.  Avoid excess changes in temperature and humidity  and it should last a long time

Thanks Wez.  It's mainly a "home player" guitar, stored in a case in a wardrobe and it's always strung up to concert pitch with 9s.  I'll see what he can do and let you know how it turns out.....

Good luck brother - beautiful guitar; it'd be a mighty shame to have it go to waste!!!
