1. **What It Does**:
- It helps remove the guitar neck from the body.
- It pushes the neck out slowly and smoothly, so nothing breaks.
2. **How It Works**:
- It uses gentle, steady pressure on the neck’s heel.
- It’s made of strong materials like plywood and aluminum.
- It fits over the guitar’s body and can adjust to different shapes.
3. **Important Steps**:
