A short story before my question(sorry). I got a guitar today. It is my first real guitar(up from a 3/4 size) and it was my grandfathers. OK nothing special but, I haven't seen it in over 10 years. I thought it was long gone but my dad found it on the weekend so I went and got it today. It's nothing special, just a old Kent classical. It needs some work, broken tuners, no saddle, stuff I can handle. But what I need help with is the neck. It's kinda screwed. No, it is screwed. It's warped, the action at the nut is great but at the 12th is real high. It's playable but still real high. It says "steel reinforced neck" but there is no adjustable truss rod. Is there anything I can do??? I know it's not worth much to any one but me, but I'd like to save it. If not I'll string it up and make it a wall hanger.

Thanks

Usually a guitar with a non adjustable neck would need to be secured and tension applied to the neck for an extended period of time.
Thats what I guy I work with suggested(He plays as well). As for shaving the saddle, there isn't one right now. So I'm worried when I do put one in it may become unplayable.

Thanks for the offer, but 6 hours isn't really around the corner. Oh well. I'll get it sorted out one day. I have to get one of my other guitars back together first. Just waiting on parts.
