Hi,
I am new to the forum, its been a while since I worked on my guitar a Les Paul, that I made. Last time I thought I got rid of my problem some backbow I reradiused it removed the high spots, had to make new inlays, All the buzzing was gone but that was in the winter time, now in the summer same problem!! I think I might have to make a new neck, not really looking forward to doing that if I can help it. I think the problem is that I used a trussrod from Stew Macs incased in an aluminun chanel, I think just the rod would of been plenty sometimes less is better. Any one else have that perticular problem when they built their necks for a Les Paul? Any help would be appreciated I need to fix this guit once and for all !!
thank you in advance,

And if the truss rod doesn't work, then you ought to address THAT problem first.[/b]
That is my problem, the trussrod is " loose" cant back it up. I should of stuck to the plans and used just 3/16 homemade rod instead of the one with the aluminum channel. I dont have many options I just dont feel like scraping the neck at this point. I dont know if the trussrod is too strong for this kind of neck, I went wrong somewhere. I am going to fool around with it, I will raise the nut a bit perhaps it will help. But the problem is there is no adjustment possible with the rod except for one way, to really fix that I may have to make a new one. I am just pissed off at myself for not going with the original trussrod.
Cheers
Jean
PS yes the problem was from the verry start, that why I think the rod is the wrong one for thid guitar.
