I loved the course and it gave me the confidence to tackle a reset. Of course it wasn't on a Martin and didn't contain a dovetail joint, but it worked out great because I was able to apply much of what Michael demonstrated. Todd

×Thank you for your input regarding my guitar’s needing a neck reset, and for encouraging me to perform the reset. I purchased the video series (Neck reset by Michael Bashkin) from the Academy’s website, and did the reset myself. Voila’. I improved the string action, and also corrected some cosmetic issues. Thanks for your encouragement. Scot
As a luthier focusing on repairs, this course took my neck reset skills to the next level! Thanks Michael and Robbie. Tim
