Hi forum , so ive got this guitar i used to play . Stopped for a long time due to exams and then overseas attachment(i didnt bring the guitar along)

Now after so long im back and ready to play it :)
My guitar is a Maestro SD-3. Before i left , i didnt do much to the guitar. Its been inside the hardcase all the while.

Ive heard abt neck-warping due to the guitar being left in its state for too long. Is there anyway i can fix this ? I don't know if the neck has warped though. Gotta check when i return home.
Would there be anithing else i need to be wary of ?
-Strings
-Moisture

Where would be a good place for me to send the guitar for "repairs" so that it will return to its "original" state? :)

My guitar is made of laminated wood so im sure the problem regarding moisture(?) will not be too drastic. I hope the forum can inform me of possible problems which might surface due to me not taking care of the guitar for many months :)

And of course , merry christmas everyone~! :)
 
merry xmas dood!! to start off, i think u just take out ur guitar and look down at the neck from the headstock. if it still looks straight then its probably fine. after that just check the tuning and the intonation. if they're fine then ur guitar is good to go :)
 
Finally reached home :)

Alright thanks alot for the inputs forum
@bf0502 : Yeah im sure if the guitar sounds nice and is playable then its good :)
@senn : Thanks for the pdfs senn ill look through them tml morning! Very tired now . Quite alot of info u got there :)

Although i still think i should send the guitar for a set-up / check-up after im done checking it myself. Gotta make sure its in tip-top condition

Might be changing strings and id like it configured to a low action(Fingerpicking player here)

Finally, thanks alot and have a nice christmas all ~! :)
