I had glued he fretbroard on and caed out the neck, but I had not installed the frets. I found out that the reason the truss rod wasn't doing anything is because i had installed it upside down (stupid mistake learned the hard way). So stewmac is actually sending me a new truss rod for free which is awesome. So hopefully I'll take off the fretboard soon and replace the truss rod!

By leveling the neck to you mean just sanding it down? And could I used a heat gun instead of an iron or is that not hot enough to melt the glue? Thanks!

Hey Guys, I've been working on a neck and I glued on the fretboard and shaped the neck. While I was shaping it I noticed that it had a back bow. I adjusted the truss rod figuring it would fix my problem. It's a hot rod truss rod from stewmac. Anyways, left it for a few minutes just snading the neck a bit more, check it again and it's barely moved (about 10 minutes later). Adjust it some more and the nut snaps off. I'm hoping that I'll wake up tomorrow morning and it'll be bent corrrectly haha. I'm kind of at a loss as to what I should do. Thanks for any and all help! Peace, Blair
