15 years ago my favorite guitar, Blue Sub 1, went through a trauma. I brought it to a guitar repair shop (techs with over 40 plus years experience) and they could not get it to play. They said the neck was done for. I've been unable to let it go, so I've held onto it hoping a Sub 1 neck would turn up for sale.
Recently, I randomly checked reverb and a guy out of Amsterdam was selling a Sub 1 neck! (Red flag-It was stripped of its hardware) Of course I bought it, and when it arrived I bolted it in and brought it to the shop. Guess what? The neck was shot. Truss rod wouldn't turn. The tech, who again, has been repairing guitars since before I was born, said the neck is toast. So now I'm sending it back and getting refunded.
Is there any chance of bringing my favorite guitar back to life, or do I bury it and try to move on?
