Possibly. What kind of guitar so you have? Some guitars are easier to work on than others. And some high action problems are easier to deal with than others.

Also, I encourage you to post this question in the Guitar Tech forum.

[quote=oteikwufrancisanyebe5]Or will it be possible to take it to a guitar shop, add a little money and then get a new one?

That's also possible. The only way to find out is to ask the local shops if they take trade ins.

Hope that helps!
