... that got a new Warmoth neck that needs to be fret levelled. I've been experiencing buzzing on only the E and A strings from about the 5th fret on down that setups and truss rod adjustments have not been able to solve. So I took it to my local Fender shop and they looked at it and think there are several frets in the higher end of the neck that need leveling. I asked about improper fret seating and they assure me that this is not a problem. I am bummed :sad1:
I recognize that I don't have the experience or the tools to do this myself. The neck is a compound radius so my concern is the guy at the Fender shop does not have the experience with compund radius necks. So here are my questions:
- Can any luthier/technician perform this leveling?
- Are there other "big name" guitar companies out there that use compound radius necks? I'm thinking if brand X uses them, I could take it to a shop that services brand X guitars.
- Does anyone have experience with shipping a guitar to an out-of-their-local-area shop that they could recommend if I cannot find a shop locally here in God-forsaken Pittsburgh?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
