6 year old VWH - Neck back bow. What to do...


Well my VWH has developed a back bow. The truss is almost completely relaxed and it is backbowed just a bit.

What options do I have? Anyone with and Ebony VWH neck for sale - LOL!!! Is Ibanez an option to get a replacement?

Any advice or options are more than welcome...

Dave

It can probably be fixed by any good Luthier, and even if he cant fix it (wich is unlikely) he can save the freatboard and make a replacement neck. Given that the freatboard with the inlays is going to be saved you are only going to pay for the neck wich shouldnt be too expensive (he can probably even use the ibanez original truss rod for the replcement neck).
