All Taylors have bolt on necks. The older ones do use shims. Do not let your luthier cut the heel down. If your tech is not Taylor trained, and experienced, I would find a new one for this job.

You can, of course, ship it to Taylor Repair in El Cajon, and get it done perfectly. Of course the shipping may be more than you want to pay, on the other hand it will be done right for sure!

Yes, the fretboard extension IS glued to the top, but a very experienced Taylor Tech can sometimes finesse the reset without having to unglue/reglue.

This is still much less time consuming than a traditional dovetail reset.

I have had a LOT of these “Classic Taylors”. Starting in 1994! And a few did receive neck sets. No biggie for the folks at Taylor…

They are a bit lighter than the newer models in construction and have the slim necks that put Taylor on the map.

Good luck in your quest.
