Just noticed Modern construction neck I ordered last summer, stained in December, and finally got back from the finish shop couple weeks ago has in fact developed a massive back bow even without tightening the truss rod at all.
No idea if that happened while storing it before staining, after, or while waiting for a finish at the finishing shop. It doesn't matter since it was ordered w/o the penetrating sealer and is therefore not covered under warranty (well understood when ordering that way).
Do you guys know of any technique to attempt fixing this ?
It's that bad with the straight edge flat against the fingerboard at the first fret:
You can even see the heel lifting up from the flat table...
Is it toast ? If the only answer is to use string gauge 25 then I can either use it as decorative item or dispose of it on Thursday (trash day)...
