    Problem? with neck on Sg.

    With strings, action was low with no buzz. Plays goood. Without strings and loosen rod I expected dead flat neck, but its bowed. If its not fine etc I would send it to dealer, take my guarantee options. So thats why I want to know ;)

    Problem? with neck on Sg.

    BECAUSE I change brand and type of strings, and I need to adjust truss rod. I always put WD40 when adjusting the rod. Less rust, better action. BUT I want to know its that normal(Releif, bow neck when guitar have no string and truss rod are loose), You know what.

    Problem? with neck on Sg.

    But for me its strange. Guitar have no strings, truss rod is totaly loose (Even I take off nut) and neck have some relief. I think, that neck with no tension of strings and truss rod, should be straight as hell or table.

    Overally, neck tenon is wider than Gibson SG tenon, so surface of interface is bigger, and I think it much better than Gibson joint. BUT Wood in neck joint/pickup area(back of guitar) are little bit thin.(Thiner than 'normal' SG neck joint) Tenon dont touch the bottom of pickup pocket. I'm...
