430pm Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 acoustic 12-string w/a sharp bow inward. i popped the fretboard and leveled the neck. one problem, the truss rod is sticking out down the center so the fretboard kind of rocks side to side. i tried grinding down the rod and it helped a little. should i continue to grind, or notch out a groove in the fret board to accomodate it?

430pm Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 i took the truss rod out and deepened the hole, so the fret board would lay flat. got her all together and the bow is corrected and i have some adjustment in the truss, but the fret board now is not level. at more than one spot. suggestions?

430pm Posted January 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 pics to follow. i removed the fret board, and sanded down the neck to make level. i routed trussbar groove and glued it all back together. sounds great. the only trouble is that since i took about 1/8th" off the top of the neck, the surface area has shrunk, so that the fretboard now hangs over the sides a little. i will try to fill w/wood filler and paint black.
