Members DonK Posted October 5, 2006 Members Share Posted October 5, 2006 I suppose you could try to plane the fretboard so it's level - i.e. parallel to the strings - but you'd still have to deal with the twist as far as playing feel, and the twist could (likely will) get worse. Straightening a twisted neck is problematical. Sounds like replacement time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rdpar Posted October 5, 2006 Author Members Share Posted October 5, 2006 hey warrior poet. That was my first thought. But I am a cheap bastard so I'd like to fix it if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members docjeffrey Posted October 5, 2006 Members Share Posted October 5, 2006 What kind of guitar and what kind of neck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rdpar Posted October 5, 2006 Author Members Share Posted October 5, 2006 Doc Jeffery , the guitar is an older Bullet series strat. made in China. I like it because it is very light and has a great sunburst finish. A new neck is not totally out of the question though it would need some setup work also,which I am not experienced at,ie. fret leveling etc. Any help would be great thanks.

Members sempri_fi Posted October 5, 2006 Members Share Posted October 5, 2006 well you could take and clamp the neck and the body to something strait and keep it tight and your neck will straiten itself out. but sence its twisted once it is more likely to twist again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
