    I bought it while on vacation in St Louis

    Actually watched this video yesterday, haha

    Gave 'er a few more cranks with pressure and it's straighter. Still not straight though, and makes me wonder if it'll change over time, if I could ever put heavier strings on, etc. Probably need to take it in.

      Loosen the strings, put back pressure on the head, and try to tighten the rod...a little extra. Bring the strings back up to tune and see if it made a difference. If it now has a back bow, that will be easily corrected just by loosening the rod. If that didn't do the trick, there is definitely a problem with the neck which should be a warranty issue.
