When I read this thread title I thought it said "auction yourself?" and I was going to say something along the lines of "no one would bid for you".

Fuck you for taking that away from me.

yeah adjusting neck is no problem, pros are ripoffs... the only thing i would suggest having a pro do is adjust a nut if you are makin one from scratch because the only way for you to adjust it is to buy a set of fret files that would cost as much as gettin it fixed by a pro
