I agree with both of you
Dan Earlwine book I have uses the same strategy to relieve an neck
I think he has a video as well
and JMP this is probably not something a novice should do without at least reading the instructions or watching the video
Doc gave good instructions
maybe he should have included a few cautions
like dont place it between two chairs
dont then stand on it
support the headstock
dont place it at an angle between the wall and the floor and stomp on it
you know standard disclaimersEHD

I had a Squire Strat i got on a trade.
Poor quality. It took all the muscle i had more than any other guitar in 45 years to turn the TR and get the neck straight.
And it still wasn't straight.
Got rid of it. Not worth the strings on it.
My advice : buy a Gibson.Comment

they do make that single coil Epi special atrocity
you can get a special with either:
Single cols
P90s
Humbuckers
just the bare minimum of wood to call it a guitar
I'm joking
I understand you want what you want
on the relief topic
I saw a video where Guitar Max stood on a skinny shredder neck
and it didnt break
and he's gained some weight latelyEHD

Everytime i see this thread i think of this:
"There must be some way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief

Actually, if the neck was that strong and resistant to change in curvature, I would consider that a very GOOD quality neck. As opposed to one as easy to bend as balsawood.Originally posted by JMP/HBE View Post

And if you had taken the advice of Dan Erlewine in his video (that I posted), you could have straightened that neck easily and saved a very good guitar.
Good advice to buy a Gibson instead of a Fender...then instead of having a strong neck that won't warp you could have a broken headstock.Originally Posted by IanBallard
