Re: Straighten a Neck - No Truss Rod
I have an old Harmony Roy Smeck from the early 50's. It was my uncle's guitar so it was probably worth more to me to restore it than it would have been to someone else, although I have seen the identical model offered for a pretty nice price on eBay and Reverb. I took it to a luthier who specializes in restoring old Harmony/Kay/Silvertones. He reset the neck and also heat treated it twice to remove the bow. So far it looks and plays beautifully, and I have both a classic instrument and a family heirloom.
