How do you deal with a convex neck that has no truss rod? Ross

Martin - yep, my ability to spell and pronunciation is appalling, have been told many times how bad it is. For example I can be told what a noun is today and tomorrow I won’t remember what it is, but give me a mathematical figure or physics fact and I will remember it for ever, go figure.

Ross - making sure first that we are referring to backbow. If I have a neck that has backbow and no truss, I slip fingerboard with heat whilst clamping it in a position of relief, i do this first as it means no refret required should it be successful.
If that doesn’t work.
The tute process above works nicely, only issue with above process is that it gives a dead flat board - we need relief, so I follow up with a neck sanding jig that I have that has a truss rod fitted to it, so I can sand relief into a neck or frets.

I can do a tute up one day showing the adjustable sanding jig in use, I use my sanding jig when someone wants a ridiculous super low action on an electric without buzz, example 12th fret 40 thou bass side and 25 thou treble side, ridiculously low

I would love to see that jig!

Will do a tute up one day showing it being used to get super low action.

Its a actually a 1/2 wide sanding bar with a truss rod fitted internally, the base is an I beam, which allows you to slip in between the strings.

I am not the inventor simply a user of the product.
