Let us know how it goes! I’ll update too as I try these on more unsuspecting beaters.

There's been a discussion about this over on Frank's frets.org forum, http://fretsnet.ning.com/forum/topics/h ... 2#comments.
I'm getting this one, 2 probes, one handle, https://www.amazon.com/300-400%C2%B0C-G ... 15Z6W&th=1. I think you can alternate connecting the probes to the handle .
Use the amazon link top of the page to support OLF.

Hesh, I think you are having a bit of a rant here.
Firstly, this is not the same as “slipping the block”. That method involved separating the back and the back bindings from the rear face of the neck block, changing the neck angle and then regluing it. Clearly a different procedure from what is being described. You tell us how you do “the whole nine yards” at a cost upwards of $1200 when someone brings in their ‘’37 Martin - and good on you for having the chops to do such fantastic work on a high-end instrument. But I presume that you send away average Alvarez or Yamaha instruments as being beneath your dignity and way below your pay grade. If someone has developed a cost effective method for making such instruments playable again then I think that is worthy of some respect. If you have never tried the method yourself, and don’t deign to work on such trash yourself, I think it is pretty arrogant of you to dismiss anyone who does as a “hack”. You see yourself as being in an elite class, but please try to stay in touch with the rest of us who are working on the ordinary stuff, keeping the average guitar player in action.
