Is it possible to build a Tremsetter or a Backstop?

I really don't know exactly where the creak comes from, but I'm almost sure it comes from the neck joint.

I thought it could be the springs, the neck joint, the nut and the truss rod (please correct me if I'm wrong, I don't know if this is possible... don't know a thing about how the truss rod works!).

Yesterday I tightened the four bolts that hold the neck to the body and it seems to be that the creak is gone, but not completely...

Could you tell me if the neck can be damaged on the inside? I'm afrrrrrraaaid

Thank you for helping this newbie LOL

Thank you for your answers!

I thought it could be a matter of the springs, but the sound is more like wood than metal...

Anybody heard a "click" in the neck or the neck joint (I suppose) when loosening the strings with the tremolo (ibanez-edge)?

the neck has no cracks, and it's tightly attached to the body.

the guitar has no tuning problems, it's very stable.

I still have no explication for this.

I thought it could be that the truss rod could be damaged. but now I don't think so.

help me please!
