Fan O' Zakk Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 The neck on my old Harmony is bent. Basically, the area of the fretboard that lies along the body is nice and flat...and the area from the nut to the neck/body joint is nice and flat...but where those two sections meet, they meet at an angle. Is this a truss rod issue? A neck re-set issue? A neck in need of reinforcement? Help please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluespresence Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Assuming it is the fretboard that is "bent" or "humped" and not the neck that's a very typical issue even on newer acoustics. I bought a new Michael Kelly bass and it had that right from the factory....they did replace it. There have been several threads on this issue and it basically comes down to either levelling the frets to eliminate the buzz (if there is any), pulling the frets and levelling the fretboard (then re-fretting) or doing nothing at all if there is no buzz and the action is still at a height you can play the guitar without buzzing.
