I'm getting ready to do a neck reset on a Harmony Sovereign. Does anybody know if they have a normal Martin type dovetail? I suppose I'll find out soon enough but maybe someone can warn or reassure me first. Man these are good sounding ladder braced guitars! |

The dovetail is a bit different from a Martin, but the procedure for resetting is similar. The typical Harmony dovetail is a bit narrower at the top, with a steeper cheek angle. It also does not extend as close to the bottom of the neck heel. It also is a bit shallower in depth, which means that when drilling the steam hole in the 15th fret slot, you may have to angle the drill bit toward the neck to hit the pocket. |
