...I pulled the neck off a 1972 Yamaha FG-180 and reset it, and replaced the bridge?
There's a full gallery of images here.
Edit: I own the server and wrote the page ^^. It's clean.
The bridge was replaced for two reasons. First, it had been sanded down to claw back some action, postponing a neck reset,
but also the spacing of the strings on that guitar was quite narrow for my fat hands, so I filled the holes and redrilled, getting the string spacing as wide as I could.
It's been months now and she's still playing beautifully!
It's amazing how intensely focussed you can become on something.
No matter how good I got it I was convinced that the action was higher than it should be,
then I lifted my strat and realised that it was much higher!
