I just got this neck from Warmoth:
http://www.warmoth.com/showcase/sc_guitar_necks.cfm?type=guitar&start=1&menuItem=1&itemNumber=SN4914&subMenuItem=0&subMenuItem2=0
It's a "Pro" neck with the side adjuster. I had a Graphtech nut and Stainless Steel jumbo frets installed.
And it's a really cool neck, I really like the way it feels and looks, but I think there may be something wrong with the truss rod. Warmoth says they manufacture their necks with a slight bow which straightens when you adjust the truss rod, but mine is almost perfectly straight with almost no adjustment to the truss rod nut at all. The Truss rod nut is only just tightened about 1/4 turn from being loose, so almost any tightening of the nut will make it back bow.
The thing is, I've already put a Tru-Oil finish on it, installed the tuners and installed it on the guitar. It wasn't until I started trying to set up the guitar that I noticed that the truss rod nut had no adjustment on it.
Do you think I will be able to send it back under warranty? I'm concerned, because I've already had to drill the small holes to attach the tuners in the back of the headstock, and It's got the frets and nut already installed, which might make it un-returnable. I've also already put a Tru-Oil finish on it as well, about 12 coats. Anyone have any idea as to what my options are? It's just past the 10-day period since I got it as well. Am I SOL?
I plan to call Warmoth Monday first thing, but I thought I'd see what kind of feedback I get here also.
