Here we have another Taylor GS Mini in for an action setting (or 'neck reset' technically-speaking). This is one guitar where 'neck reset' isn't a daunting, expensive process - it's a matter of removing the neck, fitting the required pair of shims to re-align the neck to where it needs to be and re-fitting the neck. Very clever.
The secret of the Taylor system is that it keeps the neck heel and the fingerboard extension in a 90º angle to each other and pivots that 90º around a point at the front edge of the guitar body - as my sketch on the whiteboard shows. I've seen people do 'neck resets' where they haven't retained this 90º - causing a hump in the neck where the fingerboard extension meets the rest of the neck. I've even seen people take off a Taylor neck, sand down the heel shim and then ignore the fingerboard extension shim altogether. Sure fire way to introduce a hump or change of direction in the neck.
Thanks to the Taylor system this reset was very straightforward. I had already determined and fitted the correct shim pair at home to give the correction I was after; this video shows me working on the nut and the saddle to get things to exactly where I wanted them.
