Question

Neck bow changing after a few hours of playing..


Hello.. First thread here.. I bought my guitar a RG2620 with edge lo pro to a tech for intination and adjustments. After I played for 5 hours or so I got serious fret buzz.. I noticed the neck was very straight with no bow.. So I restrung and adjusted the bow.. The guitar had no buzz and great action until about 8 hours of playing..I now have awful buzzing and it bows backwards.. What do I do to get the neck to stay where it belongs..
Thank you..

be patient and do 1/4 or 1/2 turns and wait until the next day to see where the neck is at.

yea that's basically the gist of it. you can tell right away a lot of the adjustment, but it will continue to shift for like a day.

Are the strings fully stretched? If not, stretch them before readjusting the neck.
