Common neck issues

    If the strings do not appear centered on neck, this could becaused by an improperly set neck.  However, it is more commonly caused by a shift (left or right) of the spider and cone assembly, or a misaligned tail piece.

    If your neck tilted back or forwards, thereby lowering or raising the action from its original set-up, a truss rod adjustment or neck reset may be needed.

    A twist in the neck, wherein the nut looks angled in relation to the top of the guitar, can be a more involved fix.

*  As a result of string of tension and environmental factors, guitar necks tend to move over time.  The most important factor in neck and instrument care is humidity.
