Neck Straightening - Heat Press 1983 G&L

Hello People! This G&L El Toro bass from 1983 Fullerton CA had a "Ski Jump" to the end of the fretboard and pretty high action. It needed fretwork, a neck shim, lighter strings and a neck straightening service. I monitor the process with an infrared thermometer 🌡️ I heat the neck to 150° Fehrenheit / 66° Celsius. Do not use a heat gun or heat lamp on maple fretboards! You could blister the finish 😖 Neck Shims video:    • How To Make A Neck Shim for Guitar   Cheers, Scotty D., Harpeth Guitar Restoration, LLC.
