OP, to answer Q, to unwarp a neck on that type of guitar you can take off the fretboard (carefully pry it off), get the neck level, then glue it back on. The reglued fret board will keep it straight.
I've done this before on a warped neck to fix it, required a bunch of clamps and something straight. I used a 2"x2" piece of square steel tube with a notch for the bridge when I did it.
The other way, reseting the neck at body is a famously complicated process that most repair luthiers will refuse to attempt. And it won't address a neck that's actually warped.

>I can do woodwork but I don't have the tools at hand
Then you can't do woodwork.
I don't get why ppl come here to talk about issues when they don't have access to tools to actually fix the thing.
Just throw it away and buy a new one. Someone like me will come grab it off the curb and fix it.

Agree. This >>2746256 is a bad pic but that nut looks super tall. I can't tell if the neck's actually warped from the pic.
Those look like nylon strings to me but impossible b/c OP can't focus his camera.
But ofc OP can't actually bother to get a file or piece of sandpaper to file bridge or nut b/c OP is no tools / no money.
> t. always pick up guitars off curb to fix when found. Everything from missing strings / poor setup, to bridges completely torn off the body.
