Thanks @Skyman911 for your concern. I am up to the task, I’ve been handy since I was a teenager building various things out of wood or leather as I was growing up. I worked as a handyman in my parent’s motel from age 16 until about 24 as well as maintaining my cars until they started making them where you needed specialized tools just to change light bulbs. I’ve also built entire houses as a real estate investor here in Florida.
I’m really just trying to setup my guitar for the experience. I want to learn how to setup a guitar myself, probably going to build one eventually. So I need some tools and the proper hardware and I’m retired so I have time to watch videos.
Mine being a low end unit, I don’t have to be concerned about ruining anything. It has already served me well as my learner acoustic. I do have another one to play that used to be my wife’s. Even before the onset of arthritis a few years ago, she had not played her guitar since 1989. It’s a Takamine F-340 from the mid 70s, a nice but full size guitar lacking a cutout. For everyday playing I just prefer my little cheap Rising G1 so I’m going to see if I can bring her back. If not, I’ll have acquired some helpful luthier tools and learned a few things in the process so it’s still gain.
