I came back from uke band practice tonight, and saw the news about Dusty Hill. What a shock.
Yeah sad news. What a dude.

I know roasted maple is in vogue now as well as relicing but how about this effort on Gumtree;

Actually might be worth that for the neck alone, depending on what it is!
I was looking for a neck for a SX jazz that I bought recently. A decent one was around £100 plus shipping so I thought I might as well get complete Harley Benton for a few quid more.

Perhaps you could tell me what's going on here. The Allen bolt is missing so I'm assuming it's had it?

Yes. Thin snake torch may prove useful. With strings loose and preferably removed for a few hours in even temp room look up the guitar from the bridge in a horizontal plane and look for any twist in the neck. It isn't necessarily the end of the world with a new truss screw. Decent Luthier should be able to sort for you.

So that's a screw that passes all the way down into the neck and located in a threaded billet?
The truss rod is missing then?

There's no twist in the neck but it's obviously bowed forward.
