Can we say "neck reset"?

The pics of the neck angle tell the whole story. Time for a neck reset.

This is why the tops of 330/12s and 360/12s were so thick in the '70s and early '80s. The thicker tops prevented this. I had a '77 330/12 that was a brick. Sounded like a solid-body and weighed a ton.

Yeah I was looking at that this morning. That one has a pretty bad angle, an acute case of 'curl'.

Other than trying to 'steam' it out in a special press, this one is a candidate for a reset.

Maybe the neck tounge separated from the backside of the body top. That would be tricky business to reset without major surgery.
