Members pcvarney Posted April 30, 2005 Members Share Posted April 30, 2005 If you are adjusting the neck correctly, and are not changing string guages then.... Sounds like you have humidity issues. Or you are trolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Flepio Posted April 30, 2005 Members Share Posted April 30, 2005 Not normal, probably caused by changes in humidity/temperature. My Jackson has a toothpick neck and has held setup just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MoreCowbell Posted April 30, 2005 Members Share Posted April 30, 2005 Is it new? ALot of times it takes some time for the neck to figure out it's not tree anymore and stop moving around. Especially when there's temp/humidity changes. Other than that, you still have to remember it's wood, so it's going to be effected sometimes by environment changes. I notice it too at the fret ends, the wood expands and contracts and sometimes I feel those edges. What have you had to do to it? Too much bow? Not enough?

My 620 has thinner neck and I have not adjusted it ever. The guitar is from 1998. I got a case for it only a year ago, otherwise it has been standing on the stand in my room which gets warm from the rising sun. I haven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
