I am wondering what happens when a neck-through guitar neck gets out of whack. When you sight-line the neck and the frets are off-track, how do you remedy this? If I find a neck-through model and the neck ain't straight, what do I do? With a bolt-on, there is all kinds of ways to fix it or chuck-it.

Re: Neck through, What happens when........
I believe it can be steamed and clamped so that it's straight.Don't forget the corn. It's nutritious, delicious, and ribbed for her pleasure. -

Dry heat can also be used. Here is a thread I was reading recently that went into it a bit. It doesn't specifically address neckthroughs, but Sully posted a pic of his Firebird project that needed the heat press to correct a twist.Comment

Re: Neck through, What happens when........
A neck through can be adjusted exactly the same as a bolt on or a glued in neck. The truss rod doesn't "know" what kind of neck it resides in! Having said that, there are times when a neck through design can be a problem, but in all the years of C/J collecting I've never encountered what I think you're asking about."Got a crazy feeling I don't understand,

Re: Neck through, What happens when........
If it twists slightly, a fretboard planing and refret will fix it.
I don't believe any of the heating methods will do any more than a temporary fix.Comment
