Wait, I want to see what happens next!

Don't scare him off you have to use the foot in the door technique with this guy.

I mean you can still tell it's doing its job pretty well. I'd call that pretty acceptable. You got it nice and even along the length of the fret.

C'mon man, all you got to do is buy a bottle of Titebond and a clamp... and take some pictures... C'mon bro...

I already answered the question earlier, but the thing OP should be concerned with isn't neck profile but the exact variation of AANJ neck heel and bolt pattern he has. To my knowledge, only Japanese guitars are compatible with each other; guitars from other factories/countries have different...

God damnit guitardoodguy, channel that uncontrolled emotional energy into fixing your guitar so I can experience the catharsis of seeing your before and after pictures.

If you went at it with the 400 grit eraser for long enough it would round off the crown, but I wouldn't worry about it too much. When you're polishing you're just trying to remove the scratches from your previous stage of work until you get to a level where they can't be noticed. That dust will...

In regards to your original question, I'm pretty sure Japanese necks should be interchangeable but not necks from other factories. I'd consider it a good option to order a custom neck from Five Alarm Guitars, since that will almost certainly be cheaper than finding a spare Prestige neck someone...

You'd be surprised at what is actually repairable. You didn't put it in a woodchipper did you?

I've heard they'll accept $1100.

Congratulations. And yeah it's amazing how a fret level can totally change a guitar.

I find that much of the time, reddit is just some competition to be the "most right". If you're genuinely trying to be helpful or informative, and offer a comment that is in all actuality objectively correct, then that doesn't leave any of the other competitors any space to win the game except...

You seem hell bent on making this a political issue, which shows just how clearly you're thinking about the possibility of rounding up a literal vigilante posse. Assuming everything you're saying is true and the police won't respond to stolen guitars, you're on your own and the only recourse...

And I stand by every word of mine. This isn't a political or ideological issue, it's a pragmatic one. In my mind, there are no degrees to violence, and that includes the threat of violence. The reason for that being that once Pandora's box is opened, you lose all control over how or how quickly...

It's simply the only responsible advise to give. Because, while you might be correct that the cops might not lift a finger, which I said myself earlier, you can bet your ass they would arrest and charge OP in any case of vigilante justice, right or wrong. Violence is serious, and almost...

I would not go to confront this guy alone in the possibility that things could escalate further and someone could get in trouble. You should call the police and let them know you've located your stolen guitars and are arranging to meet the thief, maybe they will send some plainclothes officers...

Yep, I always take pictures of all my guitars the instant I get them home, including serial numbers. Serves dual purpose for posting NGD threads and keeping records, lol.

If he did indeed steal the guitars and if that is indeed his eBay listing, it shouldn't be hard for the police to link it to him. All they need to do is submit a request for information to eBay. If he really did steal the guitars and is already immediately trying to sell them on the internet...

Nicely done. Sometimes you can definitely surprise yourself in those critical moments when you react on instinct and just happen to pull something off smoothly.

That's slightly inflated compared to the used price of current Indonesian Soloist X series guitars used. MIJ Jacksons are all over the place, but it doesn't seem to me that they're very highly valued. I would make an offer for a lower price to see if you can get it, but I don't think it would be...
